[Leica] Still using the old lenses

[Lluis Ripoll]

As many as you know I love the old lenses but for this topic we should maybe define what we understand for a old lens. I’ve found many times that what a young person says is it is old … i.e. a smartphone 2 years old…, it’s not old for us.

“It is always in the imperfect of the objective that he conjugates the verb to photograph”, Robert Doisneau/Jacques Prévert 1957

Maybe we shall focus this discussion about perfection vs imperfection?

When I’m using my Summilux 75 or 50 vs2 or 35 pre asph … I don’ have at all the sense to are using an old lens, it’s different when I’m using my Summitar, or my beloved Summicron Collapsible and Rigid.

I never hear talk about glamour, meanwhile there are coming to the market new fans of the Petzval lenses 

Just some of my thoughts when I have more time for share

Cheers
Lluis
