next PZ Lens Test Report: Leica Summarit-M 50mm f/2.5 - Klaus - 09-13-2010 http://www.opticallimits.com/sony-alpha-aps-c-lens-tests/546-leica50f25nex Slightly better than the Zeiss ZM Planar but insanely expensive. next PZ Lens Test Report: Leica Summarit-M 50mm f/2.5 - youpii - 09-13-2010 Thanks for the review. Will you also test the Sony 50/1.4 (for reference) and the Contax G 45/2 (for the 4.7 super high score on Photodo & small size)? next PZ Lens Test Report: Leica Summarit-M 50mm f/2.5 - Guest - 09-13-2010 Can the G lenses be used on such cameras ? next PZ Lens Test Report: Leica Summarit-M 50mm f/2.5 - Klaus - 09-13-2010 [quote name='you2' timestamp='1284378865' post='2700'] Can the G lenses be used on such cameras ? [/quote] Yes, there're special adapters with a focus ring that turns the AF drive screw. next PZ Lens Test Report: Leica Summarit-M 50mm f/2.5 - Klaus - 09-13-2010 [quote name='youpii' timestamp='1284377681' post='2698'] Thanks for the review. Will you also test the Sony 50/1.4 (for reference) and the Contax G 45/2 (for the 4.7 super high score on Photodo & small size)? [/quote] No, as of now there're no plans. I considered to test the G lenses but apart from the 90/2.8 the used prices are rather prohibitive compared to up-to-date ZMs and the existing G user base is too slim. We'll test most of the Voigtlander lineup plus a few Zeiss ZMs & Leica Ms. next PZ Lens Test Report: Leica Summarit-M 50mm f/2.5 - edge - 09-13-2010 In this thread, Lars was willing to loan out the G lenses for your testing purposes - [url="http://forum.photozone.de/index.php?/topic/221-leica-m-mount-lenses-sub-1000eur/page__pid__1731#entry1731"]Link[/url] next PZ Lens Test Report: Leica Summarit-M 50mm f/2.5 - Klaus - 09-13-2010 [quote name='edge' timestamp='1284380211' post='2704'] In this thread, Lars was willing to loan out the G lenses for your testing purposes - [url="http://forum.photozone.de/index.php?/topic/221-leica-m-mount-lenses-sub-1000eur/page__pid__1731#entry1731"]Link[/url] [/quote] I remember Lars' offer. However, Leica M/M39 mount lenses are really the limit here. The Contax Gs have been discontinued almost a decade ago. next PZ Lens Test Report: Leica Summarit-M 50mm f/2.5 - youpii - 09-13-2010 [quote name='Klaus' timestamp='1284382298' post='2707'] I remember Lars' offer.

For Sony A-mount, there is a native compatibility, including aperture. Please at least test one <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Maybe the 30 macro or the upcoming 35/1.8DT. next PZ Lens Test Report: Leica Summarit-M 50mm f/2.5 - Klaus - 09-13-2010 Eventually I will test these lens but based on the A700. What's the point of testing those on the NEX ? The primary point of a tiny camera is to stay tiny. next PZ Lens Test Report: Leica Summarit-M 50mm f/2.5 - marco - 09-13-2010 [quote name='Klaus' timestamp='1284389712' post='2716'] Eventually I will test these lens but based on the A700. What's the point of testing those on the NEX ? The primary point of a tiny camera is to stay tiny. [/quote] I see also no point for this lenses on the NEX. Something like the Voigtlaender 25/0.95 for NEX would be much more desirable. ;-) |
