HCB did pretty well with 35-50-90 ;)

 

He did excellently imo, but the 35mm he very, very rarely ever used. "Kids at the Berlin wall" and what else?

I agree. Moreover, I can only think of a few (e.g., the distant tapestries/blankets being spread out in India) with a 90. Who knows ... but he seems to have used 50 most, followed by 35 and then 90. Not a foolish approach to (humbly) try to follow.

Hello

 

I know this might look like non sense, but wondering for those using a 50mm lens as

their primary lens on the M9 ( ie they are 50mm instead of 35mm) if they would prefer

to 35mm or 28mm on the wide end ? i see a lot of 35/50/90 and just wondering about a 28/50/90 setup.... I mainly use a 50 lux and as a wider lens to have I was debating among other : elmarit 28 asph, 35 summarit or a used 35 cron (IV)

 

Thanks a lot

Vadim, this is personal.

Many will advice on a 28, as it has the "more useful, as much wider, than 50 factor".

 

Personally though, I found, that I don't like 28mm.

I ended up, selling my 28 Cron ASPH some weeks ago, as it sat completely unused, while I loved my 35 Lux on film and now on the M9 as the wide lens.

 

In your case, I would pick either the 35 Cron (although prices get silly on these nowadays and a nice second hand Lux is not far away) or the 35 Summarit for it's fantastic small size and weight.

I agree with menos. It is so darn personal. I simply wouldn't use a 28 on a FF. In fact, for an M9, I'm wrestling with whether I should have a top two-lens combo (either 35-50 or 35-90) or a three-lens kit with a top 50 and good (but not great) 35 and 90.

 

It's great to get advice ... as it can help you reconsider things and garner new perspectives.

Thanks a lot Menos and Ramosa. I tried framing with the 28mm and the line are a bit annoying....harder to see ! Anyways I agree with you regarding a 35/50/90. I think I will go with the 35summarit. A three lens kit with a top 50 is really what I like. the 50lux is really an awesome and could just go with that one.
