cnguyen Posted January 30, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted January 30, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Let me start mine first - either a SWTE or the 28mm ASPH. I currently have lens ranges from 21mm to 135mm. the 28mm range I have is on my TE. On a SWTE - I don't shoot super wides that often. Besides that I not sure what to get with that 30% discount . Any suggestions ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJL Posted January 30, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted January 30, 2007 Charles, Two different strategies come to mind: 1) get the lens you need to use most, whether that be an "upgrade" from a Cron to a Lux for example, or, 2) get the lens you have been lusting for ;-) (I am thinking Noctilux here.) Â I am having trouble with merging the two strategies, and with only one lens per camera (purchased by 12/31/06), it is harder to choose. Â As I mentioned in another thread, folks still have five months to make this descision, so go out and shoot with everything you have for a while. Find what is missing or needs to be upgraded, and go from there. Cannot hurt. Â LJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giulio Zanni Posted January 30, 2007 Share #6 Â Posted January 30, 2007 What I need it doesn't exists yet, meaning a 28 1.4. For the moment I have all I need: 28 summicron and 50 noctilux. I would be happy to offer for free my discount to whoever needs a new lens. Â Giulio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eoin Posted January 30, 2007 Share #7  Posted January 30, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) All of them if leica and my bank manager would allow  Seriously though, the offer is tempting me into buying something I don't really need. My initial choice of lenses was a 2 lens setup, 35'lux and 75'cron, then I found the 35 just not wide enough so I got the 21 Elemarit. 75 proved to be too sharp for portrait so I found a cheap 50'cron to play with a view to swapping this out for a Noctilux which is supposed to be very 50 summicron in it's look from f/2 and smaller. So the 2 lens setup ended up being 4.  My thoughts are now to sell the lot 21, 35, 50, 75 and replace them with a 28 f/2, Noctilux from the offer and 75 Summilux 2nd hand from somewhere and live with the short (37mm) range of the 28mm. So still 2 becomes 4, the 4 become 3 and the 3 weigh more than the 4, I just can't win!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarker13 Posted January 30, 2007 Share #8 Â Posted January 30, 2007 28 summicron for me. Thought briefly about the 50 lux asph. (replacing my 50 lux) Â Decided to keep the 50 lux for portraits. The 28 summicron is one that I just haven't seen much of on the used market. And I loved the 35mm focal length with my M film cameras - so that's another argument for the 28 summicron.

tom0511 Posted January 30, 2007 Share #9 Â Posted January 30, 2007 I wqs thinking to get the wate but not sure yet with the unknown behaviour regarding cyan correction. I find the 28/2.0 a very usefull lens, but allready have it;) I am also interested in the 75 cron or 90cron. Anyways, how long do we have time to choose? Is there a dead line?

peterv Posted January 30, 2007 Share #13  Posted January 30, 2007 Just ordered the 28/2.0  Two months before I got my M8, I found the 50/1,4 PRE ASPH, the 90/2.0 PRE ASPH and 135/4.0 in one deal, second hand.  So now I 'only' needed something on the short end  I'm happy with the Leica offer; it saves me € 800 on the 28...

scott kirkpatrick Posted January 30, 2007 Share #14 Â Posted January 30, 2007 I've ordered the 75/2.0. I know I like the effective 100mm focal length (from using Olympus 50/2.0 with 2x factor). Was tempted by the 24/2.8. Anybody seen one of those used? Â scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
