Eric Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share #22 Â Posted December 23, 2011 My amazing day came on December 19 when I received my 50 summilux from Maison du Leica which I ordered last May.

andalus Posted December 28, 2011 Share #26 Â Posted December 28, 2011 I just sold my 135 Telyt cause needed some funds for travel and never used it. So, I am left with the 50 Lux Asph and the 28 Cron, both in silver, and feel this is a perfect kit for me anyway. Also had my M9 upgraded to silver chrome last month and could not be happier. I am going to Singapore in Feb. and planned only to take the 28 and 50. So, I won't miss the 135. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted December 28, 2011 Share #27 Â Posted December 28, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Andalus, Â a perfect two lens kit! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andalus Posted December 28, 2011 Share #28 Â Posted December 28, 2011 I agree re the perfect kit. The 135, while very nice, had just languished in a drawer. Now I feel like I can justifiably take ALL my gear on a trip, since it's just the M9 upgraded and the 28 and 50 plus the RRS ground level tripod. Anyway, I must have made someone happy cause it was bought within 30 minutes of posting for sale on Ebay. And I got exactly what I paid for it two years ago! However, it is a like-new lens, now off to someone who will likely deploy it and got it for a couple hundred less than current retail. The most used lens for me is the 28, but I'd say just 60 percent of the time. The 50 Lux gets the nod for keeper if I ever had to sell another lens, however. What a substantial piece of glass it is in silver chrome! Feels like a hunk of pure gold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
willemr Posted December 28, 2011 Share #29 Â Posted December 28, 2011 I got a call from my local vendor that my Lux 50mm (black) had arrived. 'Only' 6 months after the purchase of the M9 When I bought the M9, I wanted a fast 50mm so I (also) bought the CZ 50mm Sonnar at the time. For some reason I find it hard to put that lens up for sale. It kinda grew on me. Selling the lens will make it easier (on the wallet) for me to get a 75 or 90mm lens.... Â Decisions, decisions, decisions....

Double Negative Posted December 29, 2011 Share #30 Â Posted December 29, 2011 I've been shooting the past few weeks with the 'Lux as my primary lens, and I have to say, I'm really (really) impressed. The thing is insane from (or especially) wide open. Â I'm really looking forward to nabbing a 28/2 'Cron to complete my spread (28/50/90/135).
