I've forget, I have too an uncoated lovely Elmar 3,5/5cm LTM, and the Summitar is also a lens that I think one day will be drop on my back, every lens has his own purpose, but after this if I say that I'm not a collector...., I don't know if I drink every day a small cup of whisky if I'm an alcoholic... All the best Luis -----Mensaje original----- De: lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+luisripoll=telefonica.net@leica-users.org] En nombre de Don Dory Enviado el: domingo, 17 de septiembre de 2006 21:24 Para: Leica Users Group Asunto: Re: [Leica] Don's PAW week 38 back in the airport Luis, Oh, I don't think youi have too many 50's. If you like a little softer look, try using an uncoated Summitar. They are not too expensive and can provide a lovely look as long as you don't include bright lights in the frame. Or, pick up a Canon 50mm F1.4. The Canon has a quite wonderful rendition especially wider than 5.6. So in your bright landscape perhaps some FP4 in Rodinal.
