The only downside: It won’t mount on digital Leica Ms.
Icing on the cake: If you want to get closer than 27.5 inches, slide on the optical “goggles” before you mount the lens and you can focus down to 19 inches with reasonable parallax compensation. It performs amazingly well even wide open, and spectacularly at its optimum aperture of around f/5.6 where it ‘ll give any modern 50mm a run for the money. I got mine with my first Leica M3 and this 7-element chrome-finished beauty, produced from 1956 to 1968, delivers amazingly high resolution (over 100 lines/mm according to contemporary tests) along with excellent contrast and beautiful bokeh. But if you want to capture images that have that distinctive look, they’re still a bargain and a great way to make your imagery stand out. Indeed, many savvy shooters now use classic lenses like these for shooting art stills and vintage-look videos, which is one reason prices have crept up in recent years. While these classic lenses are no longer in production, all can be found in the used departments of camera stores and on eBay, and all except one can be adapted to fit current digital cameras and camcorders. You’ll have a better idea of what makes each of them special when you read the detailed descriptions below, but even that is no substitute for shooting pictures. It’s not bokeh exactly-that refers to smooth transitions and shape retention in the out-of-focus areas of the image-although these lenses all have gorgeous bokeh as well.

That’s because they capture beautiful images that have “the look”-an elusive quality that may be a combination of excellent detail and sharpness plus a natural roundness in their rendition. I’ve shot thousands of pictures with hundreds of great lenses over the past 40+ years, but the following seven favorites have a special place in my heart.
