Leitz Summar



Here are a couple of ordinary shots with a 1934 vintage uncoated Leitz Summar 50mm lens. One was taken with a leica IIIF and Plus-X film, the other with an R-D1.

Perhaps you can tell one from the other. But for me, they both show off the lens' character beautifully. And they look pretty close.

I love how the RD1 files do not look artificial or digital. I guess the term used to be 'plasticky' but nowadays, after you spend megabucks on a digital body, I think the term is "3D."
