[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Here in Portland OR my friend was having second thoughts about his 3 year old 35 Summicron M and we tested it against my ASPH using some VC film in his new TTL body. Over a beer at McMinimans (about a 100 on draft) he told me in half the shots the difference was evident and there was one when I was back lit wide open (I was the subject holding up cards) there was weird highlights. HE was poised to then get the Summilux until he read Erwins thing on it. I keep telling him F2 never feels too slow to me especially knowing It's getting me Primo results at that widest F stop unlike his fast Nikons which really need stopping down to feel good about them but he just ordered another round of Terminators and was sullen. Any Advice? Mark Rabiner Ken just called as I was spell checking "draft" and is going ahead with the 35 ASPH Sumicron. So don't read the above.
