Advertisement Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Hi rsolomon, Take a look here Which M lenses do you own?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
MarkThailand Posted July 4, 2015 Share #62 Posted July 4, 2015 Too many, not enough 3.4/21 SEM 11145. Great wide lens, super sharp, high contrast, you really have to get up close and personal, like the 28mm below on steroids. 2.8/28 Elmarit-M v.4 11809. This was my go to reportage-style lens for 20 years. Not as high contast and sharp as the 21 above bit still good. 1.4/35 Summilux Aspherical 11873. A recent aquisition after using the 11874 for 20 years and the 11663 for a year. The color is very mellow and the best of the three. The rendering, contrast is between the 11663 and 11874. 1.4/35 Summilux ASPH 11874. I still like this version the best because it has the best balance between color, rendering, snd sharpness. 1.4/35 Summilux ASPH FLE 11663. Tack sharp, best contrast, a modern Karbe lens. I have recently been using this lens the most since it is so perfect. 2/50 Summicron Collapsible v1 SOOIC-1956. I just got this lens to complement the 50 AA for the M246. I am still learning this lens' character. 2/50 Summicron v4 11819. My first Leica lens and my sole lens for almost 3 years. Overall a very nice lens. Yes, it does flare a whole lot if there is strong front, side light source. But, I have learned both how to avoid this or use this characteristic. 2/50 AA Summicron 11141. Wow - the perfect lens. Perfect colors, rendering, contrast, bokeh. Very clinical and technically perfect Karbe signature lens. 1.4/50 Summilux Pre-Asph Black Paint 11623. A mellower lens than the 50 Summilux ASPH. I think it should be great with the M246. 1.4/50 Summilux ASPH 11891. Very similar to the 35 Summilux ASPH FLE 11663 - I carry this when I want a tighter subject composition. 0.95/50 Noctilux 11602. The bokeh is interesting but I really love is the "light of god" halo effect that it can impart on the central subject - no other lens I have can do this - I am still learning the other characteristics of this lens. 2/90 Summicron (Canada) 11136. Also part of my first set of Leica lenses that I got in the '90s. All of my family's passport photos have been taken with this lens. The contrast at 2 is very pasty and I think this lens has much potential. But, using the EVF or a 1.4x viewfinder adapter is a necessity. Yes - I am still looking at other lenses. I have the 1.4/50 Summilux Black chrome on order. As for other lenses.... Definitely a 2/50 Summicron v1 Rigid, perhaps the 1/50 Noctilux v2 or v3, probably not the 1.4/75 Summilux, but never say never. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle123 Posted July 6, 2015 Share #63 Posted July 6, 2015 Just an update to my list. Decided to get a second 35mm Summicron so now have both old non aspherical(my old fav) and new aspherical. Crazy, right? Reason, to always have these on the T and my M so not continuously switching back and forth for quick get up and go. We shall see how I like the aspherical version, or not. It has been bugging me why I have not warmed up to my two existing aspherical lenses for years, 28 Summicron and 35 Summilux, so this will be my final test.

taosantamonica Posted July 6, 2015 Share #64 Posted July 6, 2015 28 cron 35 summilux fle 50 summilux asph/noctilux 0.95 75 summilux 90 elmarit I just bought a 240 m-p last week since my m9p will be gone for a few months getting a new sensor. I’m going to un-leitax the R lenses I used on my Nikon D700 and use those again now too….glad I kept them when I sold off all my Nikon equipment. apo 180 2.8 apo-macro-elmarit 100 80 summilux Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Helm Posted July 7, 2015 Share #65 Posted July 7, 2015 2.8/24 1.4/35 ASPH pre FLE 1.0/50 1.4/50 ASPH 2.0/90 ASPH plus some R-lenses I mostly use the 35 and the 1.4/50 ASPH for my main interest, street-photography, but on my M240 R-teles may come into play just so that I feel to be compatible with my friends long telefoto-zooms, which they seem to use as standard lenses.

sootyvrs Posted July 18, 2015 Share #67 Posted July 18, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) CV 12 - On route to see if it can work for me CV 15 III - Most used lens, still need to be convinced WATE is worth the extra 35 Lux FLE - Love the lens but may change to 24 Lux/SE or 28 Cron as it bridges the gap better between the ultra wides and the 50 50 Lux Asph - More for people shots just love the rendering Don't have any longer lenses as I rarely do portraits Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP Posted July 18, 2015 Share #69 Posted July 18, 2015 perhaps the 1/50 Noctilux v2 or v3, probably not the 1.4/75 Summilux, but never say never. Mark Hi MarkT, keep the idea of a 1.4/75mm Summilux idea afloat. I have it as well as a 1.0/50mm v3 Noctilux. The 75mm Summilux renders and colours similarly to the 1.0/50mm Noctilux but is much better corrected and in a more intimate focal length. I think it would probably pair exceptionally well with one of your pre-ASPH/FLE 35mm Summiluxes. Regards, MarkP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrp Posted July 18, 2015 Share #70 Posted July 18, 2015 CV 15 III - Most used lens, still need to be convinced WATE is worth the extra I have been very satisfied with this lens, although I tend to shoot it at f8. It does suffer from CA, but that tends to be correctable in post. It would be good to have an 14mm f2.8 but I suspect that it would be bullky and would work only if the bookeh was suitably smooth. But the Voigtlander is reasonably portable and does the job when acreage is required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnloumiles Posted July 20, 2015 Share #77 Posted July 20, 2015 I haven't had it long but it hasn't left my camera since I got it. I love it. It has a clean, classic, cinematic rendering and incredible bokeh. I imagine the APO has a more modern draw to it and other improved metrics but in terms of value it's hard to beat this Lendl.

mmradman Posted July 20, 2015 Share #78 Posted July 20, 2015 How do you like the 90mm Summicron? Do you use it often? I like the lens and I like the results I am getting from it. i don't use it often, come to think about it no use at all in the last six months while I used all three 21s and all other listed lenses.
