For all we know the mini may have the S sensor:rolleyes:. There is absolutely nothing known yet so that question is unanswerable. If it has a fixed lens it is moot anyway.

Funny how you guys give serious thought to a a totally speculative thread like mini m and a thread in the same vein but an emphasis on the lens gets denigrated.

 

Yes I take your point Jaap but a mini m in light of the m rangefinder series implies a camera that may fit a bill between the P&S and the m9, a bit like the old CL

 

see link in respects to size etc Leica CL & Leica M6 TTL | Flickr - Photo Sharing! yes they are film comparisons but the same could work digitally

If it is indeed an M-mount cropped sensor (I asked my crystal ball, but it went silent), then the answer to your question would be a function of (a) one's preferred full-frame focal length and (B) the sensor crop factor. How many possible combinations is that?:confused:

Ahem, you asked a specific question about a camera that we know nothing about as yet, whether it's a fixed lens or what.

 

Bizarre.

For an APS-C body, a 28 (equiv. 35) or a 35 (equiv. 50) would be perfect.

Elmarit 28/2.8 aph, Summicron 35/2 asph, Summicron 35/2 v4 or Summarit 35/2.5 would be my favorites but it is a matter of tastes obviously.

I like much the Summicron 40/2 on my Epson R-D1 as well. Another APS-C camera. Excellent format for those who don't need fast wides IMO.

You asked for a recommendation for the best lens for that speculative body.

 

Best lens questions are difficult enough to answer -- what's best for you depends on many variables dictated by your needs and preferences -- let alone for a phantom camera.

Thanks the 40(aka60) sounds interesting , what is it like wide open, soft, low contrast?

I have a elmar 50mm 2.8 and a summaron 35mm on my RD1 but prefer the Jupiter 3 50mm and the Voigtlander 35mm 2.5

I do like low contrast as I can always beef up contrast in pp work as long as there is detail to play with

 

ps the way that the mini if heading though the leak looks iffy I will still be using the Epson which is my preference over the m8 which I sold

The CL was designed for interchangeable M-mount lenses.
