My experience is no good feeling about LEICA R 24mm F2.8 first type. I bought second hands one, but it has chromatic aberration, it is 2 dot on DMR, if 4/3 it will 3dot.
Therefore I sell 24mm F2.8.
Why this lens has chromatic aberration, in my guess, it is lens age. Digital system is more nerves about aberration.

But LEICA 28mm F2.8 is fine, I feel big diffrence about 24mm and 28mm.

Panasonic/Leica D Summilux 25mm f1.4 is very nice lens. The picture is more neutral than Leica D 14-54 F2.8-3.5. And can’t compare with LEICA R Summilux 35mm f1.4, because very different taste, 25mm f1.4 is more crispy.

I recommend 25mm F1.4.

Best Regards
