Leica my new/used 50 Summicron-M

[peterjcb]

I got my first M8 and have been using a 28mm Elmarit which I think is a perfect all around lens for the M8 but wanted something a little tighter.Since I'm thinking of eventually getting a FF M9 or possibly MM in the future, I picked up a 50mm Summicron-M
I'm really happy with these two lenses for the M8 right now.
....a couple of first shots with the 50 Cron

Looks good to me- which version did you get?

Nice looking images. Is this Summicron V3?

I got the IV,V version. I originally thought that it was coded but it wasn't.
I ordered a $15. flange from China and coded it myself.
Now the lens actually show up in the EXIF information, I'm happy now.

test show taken yesterday in town.

I love my 50 Cron (v5), even better on full frame.

a FF Leica is on my list next year. It will change the FOV on my 28 Elmarit and 50 Cron....kind of like getting 2 new lenses for the price of an M9 or possibly an MM...

The M Monochrom is magical. Mine is paired with an M5.
