dseelig Posted March 21, 2007 Share #1 Â Posted March 21, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Want to know I have just gotten my m8 money is tight and I got a great deal on a zeiss 25 should go with out filters and no cyan corners and run the risk or get rid of it for a 24 leitz and not be able to get other lenses I have a 35 and a 50. Oh how many people are getting mis focus on the new aspherical 35 and anyone having problems with the older aspherical 35 f1.4 Thaks David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsteve Posted March 21, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted March 21, 2007 David: Â The Zeiss 25mm does not bring up the 24mm framelines in the M8. Â I would go with the lenses you currently have and worry about the wide angle after you get the M8 and have had a chance to use it and make a decision on what lenses you might need.

I have had three, tried on three bodies, all with the problem and others have had it to. But others have no problems and insist that there must be a fault with the bodies/lenses when the problem occurs.  I'm right.  ;-)  Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dseelig Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share #5 Â Posted March 21, 2007 I was wondering which 21 you have as leica has made a lot of models. I am a seasoned pro need a wide angle the 28 is jsut a little tight for me, as a walk around lens. The 25 zeiss can have the mount changed although not sure when that service will start. I am wondering how often problem color is happening with the camera and non ir filters and is it more of a pain to dela with cyan corners then an occaional magenta shot.
