I was not able to find much information about this lens except a brief thread on r. d. forum and a few Flickr shots. Any user experiences with this lens to offer? I want it for for shooting full length, and 35mm on 35mm format is what I prefer.

 

Is this lens a wallflower because it came into the lineup late?

 

Thanks for any info...

I use it fairly regularly and find it a to be a very good lens. I bought the CS version and now am thinking if selling the 35 since I also have the 30-90. I find the wuality to be slightly better than the 35.

I have this lens..it's fantasic,it contains an extra element over most S lenses and I think this adds even more quality the lens..

Hi Rob, how would you describe the more/better quality of the 45mm?

Is it color or sharpness, or the rendering?

 

It's not the first time I hear that the 45 is something special within the S lens line-up and I was wondering what this is? Thanks!

Peter,I consider this lens to be stellar,along with the 120 and 180,these are the trinity or very high IQ.. and I have all the glass except for the 100/2.

 

This shot was taken with the S45 CS

Yep..close to Nivo..;-)

 

To be far all the glass is fantastic but the 45 is awesome,I'd like to see leica make a Summicron APO in the standard focal length,around 50mm.
