Summilux 50mm ASPH - The non Leica option

[nordleadx]

Totally agree with DoveVadar, the latest summicron is a amazing . The micro contrast is so high that when I zoom in 100x there's so much details . The other lens that is very good and amazing is the CV 50mm f3.5 .

Why never consider the canon 50mm f1.4 ltm??? Very sharp lens also

A good J-3 would do just fine, IM(not so)HO

i went for the canon 1.4, but the wait to try it out is killing me as I've not received my m body yet.. :angry:;(

btw any recommendations on cheap lens hood for the canon? read it has a 48mm thread..

I'm not very comfortable with LTM mount on M bodies, especially if it's a fast lens. The LTM-to-M adapter can sometimes make the coupling off and hence focusing also off???

Anyway, here's my new toy

Definitely but that'll have to wait till end of August as I'm on holiday with a compact only
My initial impression agrees with what all the "shi-fu"s have mentioned - not very sharp wide open. I think the contrast is good enough for my taste.

Thanks again for all the inputs
