Some, which are known for pastel colors and low contrast wide open, like the Summitar, might seem muddy in color, unless stopped down to f/4 or smaller. You might like them better in B&W. The 35mm Summarons are great lenses, and should work fine. Russian Jupiters are hit and miss. They often don't focus properly on Leicas unless modified. Test yours before using them for anything important. --Peter On Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 6:00 PM, lluisripollphotography < lluisripollphotography at gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Douglas, > > I?ve used my M8 and later my M9 with all the lenses I had M39 with > excellent results! > > Lenses I?ve used : Hektor f 6.3/2.8 cm, Summaron f3.5/3,5 cm, Elmar f 3.5/ > 5cm, Tele-Elmar f 4/9 cm. > > I?m still using a Summitar on my M9 and MM, look under my signature with > the links of my recent posting with the Summitar and MM. > > I like the rendering of the old lenses, I use them almost always for B&W, > few experience in color.
