Pros:High microcontrast even at t.a., almost perfect correction of all aberrations, compactness and lightness
Cons:Cost
Opinion:I recently traded in my faithful and highly appreciated Summicron 50 (V version) for the 2004 aspherical Summilux. I often work in low ambient light and I also wanted a more decisive detachment of the shots, especially in portraits. I was amazed to see that this lens offers everything that its little brother Summicron offered, but at an extra aperture aperture: I thought that at f:1.4 it would have been slightly smaller than the other at f:2, but it is not so. Moreover, despite being extremely sharp and surgical, the fine tonal transitions and the transitions from the plane of focus to the blurred are smooth and natural: looking at the images "it seems to be there". The dimensions are even more than human (if I think of my Canon RF 50/1.2 L ...) and I have rediscovered the pleasure of leaving the house with a single prime lens with which to do everything. Or try, still having a lot of fun, with the certainty of being able to shoot at f:1.4 without any uncertainty about the final quality that I will get from this masterpiece. I add that I use M10, and that 24 mpxl today is not much to fully evaluate the details, etc. But if it gives me so much, and with the other Leica M it worked very well, I think that the tests with adapter on Canon R5 will confirm that these lenses can "face" hyperdense sensors without suffering the slightest ailment.
Cons:Elegant cost (if we want to consider it a fault)
Opinion:It's a STRATOSFERICA optica.rn I tried so many (maybe too many) 50mm and nobody, in my opinion, manages to match this lens. The whole opening gives a three-dimensional top-quality with well-spaced plans and a top-notch transparency. Blurry is creamy and uniform and the chromatic is exciting. The pictures I get, using this jewel with the M240, literally left open. I have the Canon 50mm 1.2 (which I think is a big lens) but, from a direct comparison with the Lux, the Japanese optics comes out really bad. Rnrn rn
Opinion:The full-throttle is surgical, while maintaining a pleasingness in the performance of the blur that does not go as far as the typical one of the house. This full-aperture lens separates the plans in a convincing manner, detaching the subject wherever it is within the frame, even when it is several meters away. Sharpness to the edges equally convincing. Intermediate diaphragms continue to be perfect, but this thing is easier than it does. It is not as crisp as a Summicron, but it has additional features and advantages over the latter. The blurry, which nose the nose into a few (few) Leica purists, is pasty, uniform and pleasing. The chromaticities are balanced. The lines decided. The gray in the bianconero is sufficiently defined (under this aspect they are better than some "old" lenses of this and less contrasted, but our defenses are still good and in any case of shades). The passage between the planes in fire and out of focus is less progressive than allAnd non-aspherical Leica lenses. To find a fault, some have to argue that it is "too lacking in defects". The floating elements that move with the focusing distance allow you to focus at 70 cm while avoiding the typical focus shift problem of the non-aspherical series preceding.rnUnited: I would prefer to avoid the tab to focus With a single finger and having a larger ring, since I prefer to use two fingers to focus. For the series: you are never happy !!! rnM9, in conjunction with the CCD, has a rendition that is a perfect mix between classic and modern. A stuff to be left in more than one open mouth circumstance
Opinion:A knife, this is the correct term for descriverlo.rnOgni 50mm Leica is different from the other, and each model has its strengths and weaknesses. This last model was created to correct the focus shift of problems (focus shift) that they were suffering the models with minimum distance 0.7m, adding the floating element. In addition to solve the contrast increase and improve the overall yield it was added the aspherical element. What can I say, it's a really perfect optics, capable of solving the demanding requirements of digital. I think it's the best compromise between a pre-asph 50 lux and 50 Cron. In fact, this new model, being crystal clear, it is suitable also in architecture, and at the same time makes it very good for photos in TArnrnHo had his predecessor Lux 50 Pre-Asph type III, later replaced by the Lux 50 equiv (sold today) .rnPersonalmente for a specific use, for photos from environmental portrait half-length and full-length, I prefer and recommend the Pre-asph model with a distance of 1m, where it is more blurred ù pleasing (the pre-asph model 1m is not suffering from focus shift) .rnTrovo Lux 50 ASPH too sharp and the blurred too crudo.rnrnSu Sony A7x 50 Lux Asph is fine when used for short and medium distance with fixed adapter if used with TechartPro the yield decreases due to the element of infinity flottante.rnAd Sony TA goes lily with change Kolari Vison is perfect as Leica.
Pros:Extraordinary razor but with color rendering by contrast fable super record-breaking goals at this level '? never seen
Cons:high price
Opinion:Held for about a year later sold to capitalize a bit of money gave me a lot of satisfaction in black and white is unparalleled in color but also juggles great both on Leica that even on a7 sony gave me photos of the highest level with unmatched performance shame not to be able to keep forever for its excessive cost
