hankg Posted February 1, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted February 1, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am looking for a 28 to accompany the 50mm Summilux-M for my M8. I am considering the Zeiss 28/2.8 Biogon, the 4th gen 28/2.8 Elmarit-M and the new 28/2.8 Elmarit ASPH. Although the current generation of Leica glass is spectacular I prefer the rendering (and price) of the last generation of Leica lenses for most subjects. I think the Zeiss lenses are more similar to the pre-ASPH Leicas, sharp but with a more old school look. Â Any opinions or sample images on these lenses? Thanks.

gtmerideth Posted February 1, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted February 1, 2007 Sean Reid's review of the 28's you mention answers all your questions.

hankg Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share #3 Â Posted February 1, 2007 Sean's excellent review does not include the Elmarit-M, although it does make me lean towards the Zeiss. Sean prefers the 'tension' in the ASPH backgrounds, I like a smooth transition from sharp to really soft backgrounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
