digger1914 Posted November 23, 2009 Share #21 Posted November 23, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) On my M8 I will stick with the 35 'Lux. If I was limited to one, that woudl provide the best combination of low light, portrait & landscape photography I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Hart Posted January 6, 2010 Share #23 Posted January 6, 2010 24/3.8 Elmar-M ASPH. Perfect lens in every respect, especially on the M8.2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary B Posted January 6, 2010 Share #24 Posted January 6, 2010 Zeiss 25mm f2.8 works very well for me. Sometimes I wish it was faster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpster Posted January 6, 2010 Share #28 Posted January 6, 2010 24/3.8 Elmar-M ASPH. Perfect lens in every respect, especially on the M8.2 Not quite perfect as u can't really use it in low light situations. Bokeh is also not that good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglouis Posted January 6, 2010 Share #29 Posted January 6, 2010 On my M8 I will stick with the 35 'Lux. If I was limited to one, that woudl provide the best combination of low light, portrait & landscape photography I believe. I agree but I would be hard pressed to choose between my 35-lux and my 28/2.8-asph. The latter is an amazingly good value for money lens (not many of those in the Leica family).

Paul Hart Posted January 6, 2010 Share #30 Posted January 6, 2010 Not quite perfect as u can't really use it in low light situations. Bokeh is also not that good. Interesting you should comment on the bokeh. I took this shot to test that out. It's subjective of course, but I think it's OK, perhaps a bit busy in some areas. Your thoughts?

Paul Hart Posted January 6, 2010 Share #31 Posted January 6, 2010 BTW, that was taken at f5. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted January 7, 2010 Share #32 Posted January 7, 2010 Simple, no reservations, 28/2.0 cron. Every picture on my site was taken with that lens. And, I had the WATE, 50/1.4lux and the 75/1.4 lux in my pockets the whole time. It was fun to have them, but I think I could travel Europe with a 28 alone.

MPerson Posted January 7, 2010 Share #33 Posted January 7, 2010 A 40mm either Summicron f2 or the Nokton f1.4 SC. One is on the M2 and the other on the MP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fursan Posted January 7, 2010 Share #35 Posted January 7, 2010 I am with Shootist on this one. 'Lux 50 Asph. APO, floating element, aspherical glass, .7mm focussing, f/1.4 usable and usable. There are lenses and there is the Summilux 50mm f/1.4 Asph. Period. Regards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted January 7, 2010 Share #36 Posted January 7, 2010 50 Summilux asph. The 28 Summicron runs it very close but if it's only one lens then it's the 50. 'Lux 50 Asph. APO, floating element, ... APO? There's no APO element according to the data sheet. You're not thinking of the 75 or 90 Summicrons by any chance? Pete.
