I demand a

 

i Summmilux 28/1.4 ASPH

ii more Noctilux f/1 (or so) focal lengths (28/1, 35/1 at least)

 

I will not buy these things but I feel it is essential for Leica once interest in the M9, S2, X1 and the Vsomething have subsided. Otherwise I worry for your future.

What is it with this new breed of Leica owners, demands here, petitions there, good grief I'm only 40ish and remember the days when all Leica photographers were grown-ups!

[SJP]

OK,OK I should have added multiple

 

Subtlety is not recognised apparently, maybe my demands were too close to the heart

[earleygallery]

Don't worry I knew you were grinning!

The 28mm Summilux is actually a very sensible proposal. I would not be surprised to see it someday, when Leica has finally got the S2 lens line rolling.

 

Another very natural addition would be a 21mm Elmar, analogous to the 24mm. -- The imminent arrival of the new 35mm 'lux ASPH (imminent by the Leica timescale, of course ...) I take for granted.

Wow, we'll have many threads then of people asking: "Which one should I buy: 1/28, 1,4/28, 2/28 or 2,8/28? or are 1/35, 1,4/35, 2/35 or 2,5/35 better?"

 

I presume many of those threads will end up with many people saying: "I will not buy these things, but I can tell you the 2,8/90 Elmarit is a great lens."

28/1 would be so practical and with a 60mm filter, short barrel it would be gorgeous

I am thinking of a 28 2.8 instead to save some money. Why would one needs a fast 28 when its application is mainly outdoor? Please convince me to save up for the 'crons, 'lux or noct

[Guest mc_k]

you are right...I want it for an indoor substitute for flash

Outdoor, lights out maybe

 

A 28 Lux would be interesting.

Before thinking about Leica introducing a 28 Noct though, improving upon the image sensor sensitivity would be more sound and helpful with all lenses (including, shifting compact, light Elmarits into usability for night shooting).
