Ko.Fe. Posted April 2, 2017 Share #124 Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) I like the lens to be Leica lens on film and digital. Factory coded and recognized. I don't like it to be prone to fungus and separation, which is present even in latest ELC lenses. I don't like cheap plastic focus tab on ELC lenses, either. Everything which can't handle 39mm Leica filter size is too big for me. This is how I meet NiB Summarit-M 35 2.5. I don't have "my favorite photo", here is my photo with Summarit-M 35 2.5 which is favorite with other people.

TRIago Posted April 3, 2017 Share #125 Posted April 3, 2017 I love my 50mm Rigid Summicron. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk And my 35 cron asph. Did not really love the 50 Elmar-M, 50 Lux Asph, 35 Zeiss Biogon and 15 Voigtlander. One lens I really liked but it ain't no Leica is the Canon 50mm 1.4LTM. Still, the 35 cron asph and 50 rigid are still in my bag for a reason. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

m2man Posted December 5, 2017 Share #127 Posted December 5, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I also love the 50 2.8 v2. It's photo's always turn out way better than I thought they would. 21mm SEM is probably the nicest Leica lens. It has such great colors, even for a Leica.

Mark II Posted December 6, 2017 Share #128 Posted December 6, 2017 I probably the current 50mm Summilux. It is small, fast, ergonomic, renders beautifully and is easy and reliable to focus. It is the most dependable lens I use, if not the most exciting. However, my most used lens at present is a 28mm Summicron, which is being used to document the events in Catalunya, and which was bought specifically for the project. The 50mm is simply too tight in this case.. So maybe the correct answer is “it depends...”. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentShutter Posted December 6, 2017 Share #129 Posted December 6, 2017 35 Summilux Asph. Mine was build between 1990 - 1994 loved using it with a M6 and still think it would be my first pick again Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colint544 Posted December 6, 2017 Share #131 Posted December 6, 2017 Currently the 50mm Summilux ASPH. I'm fortunate to have the black chrome retro version. It's ace. https://www.instagram.com/colintempleton/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailwagger Posted December 6, 2017 Share #132 Posted December 6, 2017 Can't say I have a favorite, would somewhat be akin to having a favorite child. I will mention however that I do have a least favorite, the current version of the Summicron 50mm. For whatever reason, I never quite came to terms with how my copy rendered. After a couple of years of trying, I finally sold it for a Summilux BC which I'm far happier with. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobbu2 Posted December 7, 2017 Share #133 Posted December 7, 2017 Mine would be the 50/2.8 Elmar-M (the latest version); sharp as can be and collapsible making my Ms practically pocketable. Santa Monica, M6, TMY-2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narsuitus Posted December 10, 2017 Share #140 Posted December 10, 2017 I only have and I only need three Leica M-mount lenses and only two of the three are Leica lenses (90mm f/2 and 21mm f/1.4). These two provide support to my favorite lens, the Zeiss 35mm f/1.4. Of the two support lenses, my favorite is the 21mm f/1.4 because I tend to shoot more with wide-angle on my rangefinders than telephoto. Plus, the 21 is the only one that is coded and therefore works very well with my M10.
