newtoleica Posted March 2, 2011 Share #23 Posted March 2, 2011 Exactly me... I've had my M9 for almost a year and when I sold my SLR gear I got a 35lux and a 75Cron to start with, then added a 24Elmarit. Then one day I fond a 50Lux on sale..... I find the 35 and the 50 are all I need. I tend to put one of them on all day, depending where I am and my mood. The 24 I never used, and I soon found the 75 is a small crop of the 50, so both went and I put the cash into a house purchase ;-) I may one day get a 90, but not sure if I need it...

eleskin Posted March 4, 2011 Share #24 Posted March 4, 2011 In my bag, I carry two lenses most of the time with my M8. The 50mm f1.0 Noctilux and the Voigtlander 35mm f1.2 Nokton. Sometimes there is a third lens for wide shots, the 15mm Super Wide Heliar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
menos I M6 Posted March 4, 2011 Share #25 Posted March 4, 2011 In my bag, I carry two lenses most of the time with my M8. The 50mm f1.0 Noctilux and the Voigtlander 35mm f1.2 Nokton. Sometimes there is a third lens for wide shots, the 15mm Super Wide Heliar. This is precisely, what I do as well ;-) I made a picture OF my new camera, Yay! Left goes always a film body with 35 Lux ASPH, right goes the M8.2 with Noctilux f1 and in the front right goes a 15 Heliar-M + Frankenfinder, when I am in the mood for wide. Under each camera is a small Lowe Pro soft pouch with supplies: - batteries, SD cards + mini reader for the M8.2 - 4 spare batteries under the film body + 2 cells for the Motor-M, as the M7 takes 4, which is sufficient for other Leica film bodies as well). The Motor-M is not always with me (almost constantly on the M7, but I carry at the moment a near new MP now, which has to be worn in by hand first ) I might stick a 90 or 135mm in the middle as well, when I am out and shooting a weekend and don't mind weight, but mostly, I don't like to fiddle lenses.

Knomad Posted March 4, 2011 Share #26 Posted March 4, 2011 Perhaps 95% of my photos are taken with a 50mm and a 35mm. Mostly the 50mm. They cover everything I do... street, portraits, fashion, art nudes, landscapes. They use enough of the viewfinder to be able to see well, while still leaving some space outside the brightline frame to facilitate composition. I'm about to take a short trip with just one M body and one lens, probably the 35 this time. That's not at all unusual. I own a 90 and a 28, and hardly ever use or even carry them.

chris_tribble Posted March 4, 2011 Share #27 Posted March 4, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Different experience - but I use a camera in a lot of different contexts, range from dark interiors to wide open spaces, and for a range of professional and personal purposes ranging from social documentation and protraiture through to architecture and landscape. I need all the lenses I have. Evidence below (Super-Elmar 18mm = Zeiss 18mm, "unknown = Apo-Telyt 135 / the Leica Summarit 35 = the little Perar 35) - lenses used for around 1000 retained images from the last month. The Summmicron 28 and 50 lux are the most used - but the others all have their place. The 21 Elmarit isn't shown here - but I really needed it for an event I covered yesterday - the Zeiss wasn't fast enough. Welcome, dear visitor!
