After watching this I am just now realizing that you are so right, yes, version 1 glass IS like a 1/2 stop yellow filter. Very interesting. I have both lenses, and love them both. I appreciate the english subtitles, thank you very much. Beautiful photographs.
Thank you for the reply. I really love the old lenses than modern lenses. They all have some stories and full of emotion for me. For Leica, I don't need high resolution and clear image( I prefer medium format digital camera or large format filFor, all I want is emotional expression, even out of focus and motion blur. So the lenses of Leica on 135 format, that's my really concern. ;)
I was just very lucky and found a collapsible Summicron with serial number 920 in very good condition for £15 at a "second hand" store. Mine is an M mount, but to be honest I wish it was screw mount. I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet, but did wonder about whether the yellow glass acted like a yellow filter. I suppose I will just use it with only black and white film. I have heard that sitting the lens under a UV light bulb for a week will correct it. This was a lovely video, thank you for the English subtitles.
At first I was surprised there were such big differences between them, but luckily you gave an explanation about the yellow filter. Probably the new generation is technically better than the older one, but the differences should not be big. Personally, I am a lover of old gear and I even like the imperfections of old technology, but when it comes to Leitz lenses, there are no imperfections! Thank you for the interesting video.
Oh, and about the legends about radioactive lenses: We were told that some of the lenses were made of radioactive glass stocks by the German company Carl Zeiss Jena, which were exported by Red Army under "war reparations" to the USSR. Industars-61 L / D and L / Z (lanthanum glass) appear to belong to these series. But nothing is known about the harmfulness of this radiation for humans. The truth is that the Industars-61 L / D and L / Z weren't produced until the 60-70s.
@@robhosailor Thanks for telling me this. Someone has tested the lens glass with a Geiger tester, and it does have relatively weak radiation readings. But it is said that it weakens to very little after 10 centimeters away.
Are there any vintage lenses from Leica other than this v.1 that have lanthanum oxide glass? I think Leica had used this type of glass in the 50 and 60’s. Is the 8 Element one of those?
@@Edwin_Lam Yeah, I know that lens although I have not used it. The lens has a yellow front element, but I have no idea it's radioactive. Many people in forums report that this lens has no radioactive. I think you will be glad to hear about that. :)
@@MissChrisiInShanghai If you have a chance, can you please review the new Thypoch Eureka 50mm f2 please? And perhaps compare it with this original Leica lens. Thank you! Keep up the good work on this channel!
Thanks. I think I have not done well enough, the photos were not good. I'm thinking re-filming this lens for more detail and more experience for sharing.... 😀
hello, i love your video, Just a little suggestion, your hands are waving too much and it distract so much. thanks for the video anyway. I got my Summicron collapsible and always thinking of having a rigid. It looks really beautiful with a silver M body.
好喜歡小袁的娓娓道來。好多年不碰膠片了。。。看了你的分享讓我不禁懷念起來以前那些負片反轉片的日子。祝你生活幸福🎈
做為一個黃玻璃縮頭rigid和大量leica鏡頭擁有者, 個人感覺的確能拍出那種柔和安靜的空氣, 空間感, 那種通透感很特別, 第一次拿到鏡頭的時候拍出來的樣片, 有一種很驚喜的感覺. 心裡想 : 就是這支了.
用數碼機比較吧, 膠卷有點難.

Yes, the yellow glass almost acted like a yellow filter. If you use black and white film, you should add 1/3 or 1/2 stop while you are shooting.
I like collapsible 50mm f2 Summicorn !

黄玻璃对比rigid的照片，感觉在灰色的表现上更有层次。所以氛围感真的不错
这支镜头如果出门放在口袋里会对健康有影响吗？
缩头进进出出，容易进尘，左右也有许多虚位

As I know, the 8-elements is not the one of those. The glass of 8-element is natural fluorspar.
I think the Elmar 50mm f2.8 has lanthanum too.
Thanks for the video. Is it safe to one’s health to handle a lens that’s radioactive?
Don’t face it very closely (
@@MissChrisiInShanghai Have you heard of the Canon 50mm f1.4 LTM? Do you know if it’s also radioactive? As it also has yellow casting on the glass.
@@Edwin_Lam Yeah, I know that lens although I have not used it. The lens has a yellow front element, but I have no idea it's radioactive. Many people in forums report that this lens has no radioactive. I think you will be glad to hear about that. :)

你这下雨天去拍空气切割机是不是有点太
thanks for sharing, i am in the mid of selecting which lenses to go with my M3, you have given me a good insight!
Thanks. I think I have not done well enough, the photos were not good. I'm thinking re-filming this lens for more detail and more experience for sharing.... 😀
我怎么感觉你的V2版本的有雾啊。。。
胶片的空气感，我觉得跟场景是有很大关系的。以我的经验，通常是主体比较明确的的特写和近景。我以前用contax G35，经常拍出空气感，大场景和没有明确主体的风景不太容易感受到。当然“空气感”的理解可能有不同，在视觉上我觉得是前后景深的过渡非常有渐进感，而在心理上产生一种感受到主体“悬浮”在前面一定距离空气中的感觉。像小文青一样去拍消防栓，半身近景，可能会更容易有空气感。
难以描述的玄学~~~呵呵
不知道這黃鏡頭在M數碼機的效果是如何？ 有沒有問題？
就是加了一块黄色滤片。我见过有在镜头上再加一块蓝镜把这个黄色抵消掉的。但最好的办法还是用紫外线灯照一下把这个黄色去掉。
your cron collapsible is type m39, if mount M , picture nice more, i tested both lens... all nice ^^
cool…… I should try this lens more. But now I sold it and buy another lens Summar 50/2 instead. It's unique special lens for me.
Thank your comment.
这个带放射的镜头不能用在数码相机身上吧，会伤害到CMOS吗
不会，只有前组有辐射，后组用了重铅玻璃，对胶卷和cmos都没问题。
很好奇有沒有黃玻璃用在彩色照片上的樣片
嗯，我找机会拍一下
@@MissChrisiInShanghai 太好了！因為我本身也是使用M9 很好奇黃玻璃在CCD上面的表現會是怎麼樣。也很想入手一顆。

从黑白来看 就反差大很多，暗角也大些
感谢分享
有一说一....一开始搜M9的时候看到你b站视频，这又在油管看见了....真的长得好像好像我导师啊哈哈哈哈哈哈，真的太像了。
啊？不会吧……您是在开玩笑吧……我可从没做过任何人导师哈哈哈
@@MissChrisiInShanghai 真的长得太像了，我在澳洲读博....导师武汉人。只是说一下哈哈哈。语气都很像。
@@TRI-xe3xw 哈哈哈😁神奇！武汉和澳洲都没去过啊
摄影水平一看就是有功底啊。。。
并没有。感觉这次没拍好，天气差也是个原因。后面还会继续补黄玻璃的照片。算不上特别喜欢，但是的确颇具特色。先就这样吧。
🙇🏻♂️👍🏼
I own one ...
