[Leica] Testing the old Elmar 5cm f 3.5

[Lluis Ripoll]

The Elmar 50/2.8 was an excellent lens and the last version M was  really superb. 

But I’m sorry Paul if I’m not a follower of tests with digital cameras, the sensors operate great performances and in MHO they don’t give a realistic image of the natural look of a lens made for film.
