rsh Posted January 10, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 10, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thinking about selling the 135 Apo Telyt and 90 Apo Summicron and 21 Elmarit Asph and slimming my M setup to 28 Summicron, 35 Summicron Asph, 50 Summilux Asph and 75 Summicron Asph as these are the lenses I most often use. Any Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Hi rsh, Take a look here 135 ApoTelyt, 90 Apo Summicron and 21 Elmarit Asph. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
glenerrolrd Posted January 10, 2010 Share #2 Posted January 10, 2010 Richard Have you made the move to the M9 yet? This may affect you favorite focal lengths. A good rule of thumb I have used is "never sell your Leica M glass" ..its Ok to trade for a different Leica M lens but never an out right sale. Unlike almost everything else we "invest in" the M glass value holds up . Watch the prices go up on the 90 and the 135 as the M9 becomes more plentiful and owners seek out more reach to go with FF.

chris_tribble Posted January 10, 2010 Share #3 Posted January 10, 2010 75 is the lens I did get rid of when I moved to all M9 system. I would never lose the 90 and the 135. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffp Posted January 10, 2010 Share #4 Posted January 10, 2010 I just bought a 21mm elmarit and absolutely love it but I have always liked WA. I could never contemplate getting rid of a lens like that, even if using an external VF is a pain (no worse than lugging a D700 and 14-24 which I also do). I think it is a very personal choice - any lenses you have not tended to use are likely to be ones you won't miss unless you get into a different type of photography. You could always try the types of photography that your 135mm, 90mm and 21mm lenses are suited to and see if you enjoy it and take it from there.

tom0511 Posted January 12, 2010 Share #6 Posted January 12, 2010 I love the 21/2.8asph on the M9 and I really like the 135/3.4 on the M9. I dont use 90 much though. Very personal matter of taste. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
