I'll have to go along with Jack MacD on this one for the 50/2.8 collapsible Elmar-M (modern version). I've been a big fan of the collapsible lenses with my LTM and M bodies as they truly make the camera literally pocketable, or at least fit with lenses in the small Lowepro case I use on occasion. I usually have the Elmar-M mounted on my M6 or M4-2; on other occasions I actually have a Summitar (with the LTM adapter) on one of those Ms.
The modern Elmar provides superb sharpness and contrast in such a small package, it's the only modern M lens I use. Cheers, Allan
Happy New Year everyone! I'm also new to this forum, my first post here. I shoot a fair amount of film, and it's about 90% of all I do (my wife is the true digital SLR shooter, I just follow in her steps a little). I have a lot of gear, being Leica, Pentax and Yashica. I also have a small darkroom!
My small Leica collection consists of a “user” titanium M6, previously owned by a Contact press Images photojournalist and an M4-2; my lenses are a 50/2.8 Elmar-M (new version) and a 50/2 LTM Summitar. I also frequently use a 15/4.5 Cosina-Voigtlander Super-Wide Heliar.
To top it off, my mom has a IIIg with the collapsible 50/2 Summicron that I “borrow” when I come to visit!
