bscott Posted June 18, 2007 Share #1 Posted June 18, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) What is the consensus on the Leica 28-35-50 m lens as to the image quality compared to primes of the same focal length? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Hi bscott, Take a look here 28-35-50 M lens. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
topoxforddoc Posted June 18, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 18, 2007 Not bad at all. I bought one of the 2nd version E49 lenses; both versions are identical optically. The 28 setting has a bit of barrel distortion, but is otherwise fine. The 35 and 50 settings are pretty much the same as the pre-asph 35 cron and current 50 cron in image quality albeit only at max f4. Has a bit of a problem with flare in some hands, although I've not had major issues with this on mine. Charlie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsh Posted June 18, 2007 Share #3 Posted June 18, 2007 I really like the lens. You will have to scour for one as they have been discontinued. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pascal_meheut Posted June 19, 2007 Share #4 Posted June 19, 2007 I agree with topoxforddoc. At 28mm, the Summicron ASPH is better on the edges, even at f/8. Besides that, it plays in the same league in the center and is as good as the 50mm/2. Biggest problem is the F/4 max aperture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 19, 2007 Share #5 Posted June 19, 2007 I find it a very good lens especially on the M8, as the center is as good or maybe better as any pre-asph equivalent lens. I find the flare mentioned in some reports not worse than other lenses. The aperture of 4.0 is adequate for the intended use of travel photography.The main problem I have with it is the bulk.
