  1. I don't know where the right place to ask this questions is, so please move it if this is wrong. I have an update to some of the information on a page in the Wiki; where do I go to get this added? Julian
  2. Thanks for the replies - it's a tricky decision. I have decided on the Elmarit, for now; it should arrive in a couple of days.
  3. Sadly the Macro-Elmar is out of my price range:( I have been reading some opinion online that is disparaging about the build quality of the Summarit - is there any justification in this? It certainly _looks_ a bit different - gone is the Leica font!!! This is hard to decide - does anybody know of any comparative pictures online that show how the Summarit and Elmarit perform? Julian
  4. Hi all, I am looking for an 85-90mm lens for my Sony A7. My experience with Leica lenses so far has been so good that I want to stay with Leica if possible. First thoughts have narrowed my choice down to Summarit M 90mm or Elmarit M 90mm - I might consider the Summicron 90mm, but it is a bit large. The cron is also a bit pricey for my family budget:( Does anybody have any strong experiences one way or the other with these two lenses? Julian
  5. I have a few Leica and Voigtlander M mount lenses I use on my Sony A7. Although the wider lenses are more likely to suffer from smear and colour shifts in the corners, it is not just focal length. Looking at some of them, one by one, the further the rear element of the lens extends beyond the M mount bayonet, the worse the problem seems to be. CV15 - rear element protrudes a lot, approximately 7mm beyond the mount/13mm beyond flange - bad smearing and magenta colour shift CV Ultron 28/1.9 - 3mm/9mm no/minimal smear or colour Lux 50 - rear element within bayonet - no problems CV Nokton 50/1.5 - rear element well within the mount bayonet - no problems It would be interesting to hear from other people about which lenses perform well and which badly, and their matching measurements.
