[Leica] Nathan's PAD 14/11/2014: just an idle lens test

[RicCarter]

there's a lot to be said for the antique lenses on digital Ms

one of my favorites on my M8 is the first rigid Summicron 50

i feel like it knocks the contrast down just a hair on the sensor to make a nice tonal range

But more than anything, this picture is an illustration of what the 50mm collapsible Summicron from 1953 can do. It was taken wide open (f2), at the closest focusing distance of 1 meter. I really love this lens:
