Hi all, I've recently upgraded from a 28mm Elmarit f/2.8 (pre-ASPH) to the 28mm Summicron f/2 ASPH (used) and I received the lens yesterday. However, it seems to me that the Summicron is not focussing at infinity when I'm trying to: I'm noticing that faraway objects are out of focus, ever so slightly. At first I thought it was due to the lens being slightly softer wide open, but I stopped it down to f/4, all to no avail. I'd like to know if the lens is damaged so I can return it in time. Here's a screenshot comparing the two. I've also uploaded the raw files here. I'm new to the M system and I'm unsure what to do: and given this is a very large investment in a lens, I'd like to be sure that the lens is working as expected. Thank you.

It was wonderful meeting up and spending an hour or so with them in lower-midtown. Here is my first installment - of (mostly) just animals; people will be featured in the next installment MM/28 cron/SF-24D #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6

M9/28 cron "Hot Boy" Lots of "Selling Jesus" The Dallas public transit system works on the honor system; but they do spot check, and fines are steep

Hi everyone, I'm new on the forum and this is my first post, but have been a Leica M user for a number of years now. I'm a hobbyist and use the camera for documenting family life, travel and the occasional street / landscape shoots. My current lineup is M11 & M-A with 21 SEM, 28 Elmarit ASPH v2, 35 FLE, 50 APO, 90 Macro Elmar. I value simplicity and I'm looking to downsize/optimize my lens lineup, balancing creative opportunities with avoiding excessive overlap across focal lengths. I'm thinking about trading in my 28 Elmarit ASPH v2 + 35 FLE for a used 28 Summicron ASPH v2. My thinking so far: - I could miss the size/stealthiness of the 28 Elmarit, but the 28 Summicron isn't that much bigger and it has an extra stop of light that's useful on film/creatively - The 28 Summicron won't have the same magic rendering of the FLE, but should be smaller/lighter/easier to handle and achieve precise focus even wide open. I like the rendering of the FLE but don't love its handling. I find it too big at times, and also think I tend to shoot it wide open more often than I should just to justify having the 1.4. That's the same reason why I opted for the 50 APO vs 50 Lux. - 28 and 35 are relatively close - just one/two steps away really (I know this may sound heresy to many). I generally prefer 28 to 35 and the new high-res M11 sensor makes owning the two feel more than I really need. Is there anyone that has owned the three lenses (35 FLE, 28 Elmarit, 28 Cron) and can offer an opinion? Thanks! Andrea
