Leica Summicron-R 50mm f/2

Pros: Unparalleled optical and build quality

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: The Summicron R 50mm, speaking of what I own or the first type with VI or 44mm series filters, as typical of Leica optics, is able to add the Z axis to the photographic representation, where normally only X and Y are present. Using films such as the Ferrania P30, the Kodak Ektar 100 or the Rollei Superpan 200, it becomes almost instinctive to stretch out your hand to perceive the depth of the subject on the prints. The colors vibrate, the B / W has a sculptural quality. He doesn't even blink with his Elpro in close-range shots. The build quality, attention to detail and materials are moving. Mounted on a Leicaflex SL or R8 you feel armored and enjoy the world through their sights in Cinemascope. Of course it should also be added that Leica does not give anything even if, new or used, it is worth every penny of what it costs.

Leica Elmarit-R 28mm f/2.8

Pros: Optical performance, build quality

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: It is difficult to tell a Leica goal. Let's say that in my personal opinion this, like other Rs, give the prints a material thickness that I have not had the opportunity to recount in other noble Japanese dynasties, except in part only the Zuiko. He never loved this focal length but, with the Leica, I had to change my mind. Sold unfortunately the first a long time ago, I recently took another three cams to use it on my Leicaflex SL and R8. Apart from, so to speak, this "non-measurable" feature, the other parameters are in the norm of the best wide angles that I have had the opportunity to use. Another aspect in which it clearly detaches itself from the competition is in the build quality, but it is also true that even from this point of view the House of Solms does not give anything.
