I was looking for a affordable 85mm for my Zeiss Ikon Rangefinder. Stumbled over a Steinheil Culminar 85mm f2.8, in Leica M mount, for very little money.
It's a very tiny lens, 15 blades, very smooth focus, a nice finish and with a original lens hood.
Finally it arrived yesterday, here are the first test shots.
I'm really impressed, it's my first no-Zeiss purchase in the last 24 months and I'm very happy with it! Highly recommended lens.
Samples self developed and scanned with 5D + S-Planar 74:
#1 f2.8
#2 f2.8 (with wind)
#3 f2.8
#4 f2.8 (wind again) interesting oof area, reminds me on the Trioplan 2.8/100
#5 f4

Very nice results, I especially like how it does brown/beige with the Provia, should be good for skin

Thanks friends!
Yes Attila & Rolf, this is a great lens, I was so happy to find a M-mount Culminar.
Nesster, I have shot some portraits with Provia, last year, but I was not so happy, to much contrast. I'll stick with the ektachromes (epn, epy sw) for portraits. But for foliage and especially palms the Provia is just perfect.

Thank you.
It's easy to do and fun of course, a tank, a bathtub, timer and a good thermometer...
