I'm becoming a big of a fan of your work!

 

Back on topic - I bought and practically wore out a Leica summicron asph, with some great results. It was my M lens of choice for many years.

 

It's now been replaced with the 28 2.8 asph. Whilst it's taken me a while to become truly familiar with the extra 7mm, I do like it enormously. It's also as wide as one can go before it starts to look like a 'wide angle'. It's also as wide as you can go without having to use those irritating finders (although the 28mm frame is a little tight).

 

I did have the f2 version, but it was too big, the hood was oversized, and it flared too much in extreme conditions. The 2.8 asph is virtually flare free, distortion free, and most importantly for me it is small and light.

 

I've not used the Voitglander, but the Leica 28.2.8 aph works brilliantly on film giving real bite to the pictures. Perfect.

Marcus the Voigtlander 28/2.8 aph is a "biting" lens. So is their 40mm Ultron. Love those pancake lenses.....
