Lens for M6TTL

The answer is yes.

The 28 is a narrow wide.

I use my 28 mainly indoor or in crowded places

But as a wide, it's not wide enought.

 

The 35 is a wide normal.

its a very versatile lenght

 

As a first lens, 35 is a much better choice

Ok, the 35mm will be my choice

 

Thanks

I wouldn't go for a pre ASPH 35 Summicron these days - the nice ones are crazy expensive.

The latest 35 Summicron ASPH is a wonderful (but modern) lens - means: rather heavy for it's compact size, super sharp, contrasty + close focussing.

 

For half the money one get's a mint copy of Voigtlanders best built, fastest (but also biggest and heaviest) 35mm lens - a lens, hard to beat for the money @ about 900 USD for a version one.

 

Still a bargain is the wonderfully performing Canon 35/2 LTM, going for a bit more than half the cost of the fast f1.2 Voigtlander.

 

Personally I don't like much the Voigtlander 35/1.4, but it is also a great starter lens.

 

Beautifully built and nice performing classic lenses are the Leitz 35/3.5 Summaron and later f2.8 Summaron lenses (the latter ones getting fairly expensive now too).

 

Japanese Zeiss glass is available new under 1000 EUR too, but I have no idea about those (they stop in darn 1/3 stops, making them incompatible with my brain).

 

Most other options are way above budget (you named it before).

My personal favorites in 28 and 35mm:

 

Leica 28 Summicron

Leica 35 Summilux ASPH

Leica 35 Summilux pre ASPH

 

Any 35 mm, that will be mentioned in this whole thread will likely will you do perfectly as a nice starter lens. just keep it at that one lens for a while and you should be good.

Thank you for your message.

 

Looks like I need to wait for the lens... The camera I just bought is broken.
