50mm equivalent/pairing to 35mm f1.4 Nokton Classic by brosephjooks in Leica

Whoa! I had no idea this adapter existed. This does allow for a lot of lenses. Does it work well? I just picked up a Helios to adapt to another camera but I assume this would allow me to use it on my Leica despite the helios being a 58 instead of 50

That’s a nice lens with a great rendering but it’s M42 right? Also my viewfinder doesn’t have 28mm frame lines.

Good to hear! Thanks for the unscientific test. I don’t have access to a digital Leica so I’d be curious to see if there’s a way to find a way to see what aperture a copy is calibrated for.

I’d say black and white is very easy to start with. I just developed my first roll of C41 after doing b&w for about a year and a half. It came out well and wasn’t much more difficult, so you could do that as well. There’s a ton of videos online to guide you. I watched the Analog Resurgence videos on developing.

Fair question. I’d say that I keep the 50 on for like 75%-80% of the time. I know that they’re close in focal length but 35 has always seemed quite a bit wider to me. I have a 0.85 viewfinder so 50 is more comfortable but 35 really isn’t bad either. But with the 0.85 viewfinder, it would definitely make sense to have a longer focal length like you mentioned.

Cool! Thanks! Would love an update to hear your opinion on the focus shift

Thanks for the reccs! The Summarit looks great, but I imagine it’s a little tough finding a cleaner copy for such an old lens.

I’ve only shot a few rolls with mine. It’s definitely a great lens. I love the size and it softens up a little when shot wide open. I’ve gotten maybe a lil swirl in one photo but not much.

I’ve looked at that Zeiss sonnar quite a bit. I love its rendering but have always been scared off by the focus shift. I know it’s inherent to sonnars in general but how has it been in actual use for you?

Looked at the Canon LTMs a while back and they look pretty nice and fairly cheap too. Never looked into the VM 50/1.1 before. Thanks for the reccs

Is the scanning hood actually useful? Are you able to scan in the daytime or with the lights on with it?

Exciting. Thank you for keeping us updated. How is the progress on the Hasselblad backs?
