Joakim - How much research have you done on the 35 Summilux pre-ASPH? What do you think about v.1 vs v.2?
I just received v.2 for the M3 (with goggles), but am returning it because the goggles were misaligned vertically and did not align at infinity. That made focussing at f/1.4 unpredictable. Also, the front element assembly has a slight rattle and could be jiggled.
My interest in the lens, was to shoot it mostly at f/1.4, at least initially, with the M3 and sometimes with the M10. I should add that I would go for the goggle version because...Show more →
Hi Mitch
It seems like you have already gotten some good response on your question but I just wanted to add that I did not do much research on the difference between the two and just concluded that v1 was more rare and expensive and that the examples I saw from the v2 looked very good. I did do some research on older Summicrons but didn't come to a clearcut conclusion so when Summilux showed up on auction site it looked like a more interesting option and at a good price as well.

On the topic of old lenses, any suggestions for an old 50mm lens that would match the v2 35 Summilux in colour and rendering? I was thinking that the 50 Summicron Rigid might be a good choice.

From a few weeks ago. On the mud flats of the oldman river down by Lethbridge. Not ideal shooting environment or conditions but decided to experiment, have fun and see what I could find.

Photos with my recent lens purchase - the Voigtlander 28/2 M-mount lens. It is a lens which is not too often mentioned or reviewed online, but I believe it is an excellent competitor to f/2 or f/2.8 Leica-M lenses of the same FL. I made very good experience with several other CV lenses like the 21/1.8 for example - the 28 mm FL gives me a bit wider range than my favorite 35 mm FL. Below a few shots taken with my M7 and the CV 28/2 lens on Kodak Porta 400 UC film, home-developed with C-41.

Surprise surprise. I've switched out all my lenses again. It's almost comical at this point but at the same time it's fun to try things out while I figure out the type of characteristics that matter to me.
Big as it is, I'm looking forward to trying out this Zeiss Distagon 35 for low light work. My primaries are now the ZM28 and ZM50 Planar. Considering how much Zeiss glass is in my stable now I think it's safe for me to say that I am generally a fan of the Zeiss signature and I should probably stop looking elsewhere.
I'll post as soon as I have new things to share!
