Just bought a Leica 50/2 Rigid (v2) and should have it this week. I will compare to the LL 50/2 Elcan.
Looking forward to the comparison. I just bought the 50 Elcan titanium
Congrats on the new lens! It's nice to get a special edition without breaking the bank. It looks very nice from the pictures.
Well, turns out it looks nice indeed, but it was a bit softer on one side of the frame than the other even at f/8. Not sure if I will try another copy. Did you get your Elcan test copies from Popflash? If so, do you remember the serial number(s) of the one(s) you sent back as decentered? If so, would you PM me? I want to be sure they grab a "fresh" one if I do an exchange
The samples you posted – wow, it's almost impossible to tell the difference between the lenses with regard to rendering if not seen side-by-side. The copy I got was sharp enough that it surprised me, though. Hmm, wonder if I should keep a decentered copy that happens to be super sharp
