erudolph Posted May 15, 2015 Share #41 Posted May 15, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) By the way, does anyone have an Adobe lens profile for this lens that they would be willing to share or be compensated for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Hi erudolph, Take a look here Using Puts "One Lens" lens -- the 24mm f2.8 asph. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Paulus Posted February 3, 2016 Share #42 Posted February 3, 2016 I like the lens. To me its a real " bad weather lens ". See: https://pauljoostenfotograaf.smugmug.com/Street-Scenes/Utrecht-2016/i-FWwrnJh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith (M) Posted February 4, 2016 Share #43 Posted February 4, 2016 In my third edition (2011) of his Leica Compendium, Erwin writes "Once in a while, all parameters fall into place with that indefinable fit that characterises the presence of a successful creation. The Elmarit-M 24mm f2.8 ASPH is without any doubt a masterpiece of optical engineering and within the Leica ~M range a landmark design." Hmmm - as I have 21mm and 28mm lenses, 24mm has not (yet) appeared on my radar screen... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Lowe Posted February 4, 2016 Share #44 Posted February 4, 2016 I've had this lens for around a month. I'm still not 100% sold on it but I do think I like it. It's a good lens for tight quarters. I've used it on my M246 with an external optical finder, the EVF-2, Live View, or simply guesstimating while focusing with the RF. The guesstimating has worked surprisingly well. I got a later copy that was factory coded, so that's nice for tagging and organizing. I just don't know if this lens is really any better than the Zeiss 25 2.8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erudolph Posted February 4, 2016 Share #45 Posted February 4, 2016 Does anyone have a Lightroom profile for this lens? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Lowe Posted February 5, 2016 Share #46 Posted February 5, 2016 Does anyone have a Lightroom profile for this lens? I don't. I tried applying the profile for the Elmar 24 3.8 but I didn't see much of a difference other than distortion correction, and I don't think the correction was helping.

AFAIK distortion correction is about all LR profiles do - for Leica lenses anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpwhite Posted February 8, 2016 Share #48 Posted February 8, 2016 I don't. I tried applying the profile for the Elmar 24 3.8 but I didn't see much of a difference other than distortion correction, and I don't think the correction was helping. The Elmarit-M 24 ASPH is my favorite lens. I find the Elmar-M 24 ASPH is crisper, more 3D and noticeably better corners, but the rendering of the Elmarit is plainly nicer. In terms of spatial distortion, the Elmarit has a bit, whereas the Elmar has none that I can detect... so the pixel distorting action of pp designed for the Elmar should, as you say, do almost nothing at all to any file. The Zeiss Biogon 25mm is a wonderful lens with rendering similar to the Elmarit 24mm. But in my hands, crispness on axis and color saturation of colors with the Elmarit are both superior to the Biogon. I guess if I were only shooting portraits with a ~24mm, the Biogon would be my pick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
