[Leica] Testing the old Elmar 5cm f 3.5

[Paul Roark]

FWIW, I just posted a test shot taken at f/5.6 with the Elmar 50 f/2.8 on a
Sony adapted to Leica M optics.  See https://www.paulroark.com/Elmar-f56.jpg
.

My notes on the relatively new Elmar:  "8x10 crop critically sharp at
f.6.7, f.5.6 acceptable.  At f/4 sharp area is 80% of central square.
4-frame pan beats Leica apo 35mm.  On Sony a7c, with rubber hood, fits into
Sony RX1 case.  Sony must have Ultra Thin sensor cover modification from
KoloriVision."
