Sorry to interrupt, here a few shots from 35 2.0 E55 at f/8 (D800 RAW), yes extreme corners softer a bit but does not so terrible by my opinion for real photography

Sorry for all the posts! As Alex so eloquently put it when I got my 50 Lux..."it's nirvana"!!
Gregg















Probably one of my fav photos ever! Mason would run ahead, turn around, and Gio would run to him, and bear hug Mason! 50 Lux wide open

Thx Manu. Do you use the lens on the Sony a7r on a tripod? If so, is the camera mount solid enough or does one need to use an adapter tripos mount?


Steve, I've taken only a few shots with it on the A7r thus far but yes tripod, novoflex adapter and higher than 1/150 shutter speeds. Been very pleased with the lens' performance on the sony. I have a RRS L plate on the camera and have been using that, seems solid. But I'm planning on getting the tripod collar for the novoflex adapter as I start using longer lenses. I wouldn't put anything heavier than the 180/3.5 without using an adapter tripod mount.

Jako, I noticed some of your 35mm cron-R E55 (fabulous!) photos you posted here. I'm in the process of purchasing this exact lens (rom) in absolute mint condition. The deal was too good to pass up. I was reading what Erwin Puts had written about the lens (1977 and later ver2?) and he noted that the edges aren't as good as the first version and wide open the contrast is a bit lower as well. I recently read elsewhere that this lens is more of a "street reporter" than a landscape lens. I guess the "street reporter" would be more
...Show more

I would get the Cron-R 35 E55 without any hesitation. It's such a great lens with its unique character that I use it the most of my all Leica-R lenses. I wouldn't narrow its usage only to "street reporter" but rather, say "non-planar" type. It excels in center frame subject isolation, but once you use lens profile correction (if you use Adobe RAW converter it is) than it's acceptable for other use as well.

Gregg, Manu, clmusic, Jon and others; thank you so much for your inspirational comments and likes. Much appreciated!

Jack...really like the second shot. The open door, so dark, is mysterious!

Jack, those are very fine shots. The open doors lead the eye into the scene and create a sense of mystery as Gregg rightly put it.

Thanks again. Turns out I already own the Novoflex tripod collar, so I can use that if I want. Not sure what longer lens might be affordable. Maybe getting the 2x extender might fill the need, at least for landscape as the 280/4 seems a bit pricey...

Awesome! I'll have a look at the RAW when I get home. I only have the a7, so the 36mp will be a treat!

Thank you very much Jack for the details of the 35! The subject isolation quality of this lens is what I'm most excited about. One thing that Erwin doesn't mention is color. How is the color rendition (non PP) of this lens. Would I be wrong to assume that it's warmer than the zeiss equivalent?

Once again, thank you very much for you help!

Win, R9 had locked shutter with DMR (common situation when u try to push the button of multiply exposure, after that the camera starts to thinking that need rewind the film and locked shutter) All my actions for unlock was without results until I installed original battery grip and film back. I take them from another R8 for quick time. Now the system works like terminator

Gregg, thank you for feedback, but mine shot just about nothing Yours all different from mine, I am feeling that you soul in your E55 now. I can perfect understand first emotions and first months with leica bokeh, it's like a first love's emotions - u never forgot it and never return... In future would be possible to learn the lens in different situations for same feelings, for example I had second "opening" R50E55 when tryed to shot bokeramas last summer

You may want to browse through few pages of posted samples regarding Leica vs. Zeiss

JaKo or any other 35 cron-R owners. I just noticed that the 35 e55 has a little hole on the face of the lens between the lens serial number and the word Leica. Is the purpose of the hole to allow the lens to breathe when focusing?
