peterpappas Posted January 2, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone have experience using Zeiss ZM lenses on Leica M cameras and if so are their any performance or compatiblity issues one needs to be concerned about? Thanks for any information you can provide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted January 2, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 2, 2009 None that I'm aware of, other than some of them bring up the wrong frame lines on an M8 - not a problem on a film M. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuelphoto Posted January 2, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 2, 2009 Yes, the 35mm f/2 Biogon. Works great both mechanically and optically. I haven't compared agains the new Summarit, but my guess it is at least as good for almost half the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronazle Posted January 3, 2009 Share #4 Posted January 3, 2009 Hi. I bought the 21mm Biogon F:/4.5 about a year ago. The one I bought was the M8 "ready" version. I coded it with a dremel tool and paint; it has worked flawlessly ever since. This, of course, will not be a problem with a film camera. While the aperture is not too wide, on a practical level it is seldom a problem and is compensated for by minimal size and weight (a true wide angle lens) of the lens. Ignoring perspective, when I have multiple photos to choose from, the Biogon is disproportionately chosen most often - it is a great sharp, distortion free lens. My most used gadget bag is smaller than many (most?) women's purses; it contains a Leica, normal and 90mm lenses along with the small Biogon. These three lenses cope with almost any situation.
