[LRFlex] Re: Leicanon - Summicron 50 for Macro

Douglas -

Lotta graceful flower snaps you got on that site!

The old 50 R-Cron is one of my favorites. Here's a recent casual 20D test at around minimum field; full frame followed by 100% pixel view about halfway out in the field at 5.6 (minor sharpening artifacts & all):

Have you tried it with the Elpro? Heres a shot handheld at 1/60 (on Kodachrome 64 at 2.8).

Leave us not forget that at 1:2 repro the max aperture of the 60 Macro is effectively f4, while the 'Cron/Elpro is f2 (and quite useable over much of the field), apologies for the hammered grain in the background:

Out in the garden this AM, trying out the "new" old (2 cam) 50/2 Summicron I got with an SL recently.

Cropped from the first shot.
Sex in the garden - I am constantly amazed at the quality produced by the combination of a 20D and Leica-R glass.

If you look carefully in the bottom right hand corner you can see that it's not safe to sit on Edelweiss flowers - it's the dreaded white spider again!
