sean_reid Posted June 12, 2007 Share #21 Posted June 12, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) John. Sean is right. The CV25mmP brings up the 24 and 35mm lines on my M8. Not only that, the 24mm framelines are reasonable accurate too. The whole package is so ergometric, everything falls into place. Although the lens is a little larger than the CV25 that it replaces, the fact that it is rangefinder coupled makes a world of difference in close quarters. And it is small enough to be barely visible in the viewfinder. Also it is sharp as a tack across the whole field. I can't get enough of this lens. In fact I hesitate to send my bayonet to John for coding until I use it a few more days. Rex Well, that's that, I'll probably buy the copy I'm sent for review. I am curious as to how easily the screws come out on this one - it's a bear with the Zeiss lenses due to the thread locking compound used. Cheers, Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlm Posted June 12, 2007 Share #22 Posted June 12, 2007 I used to have a 24, but sold it and got a 28...so I quickly compared the flange on the 28 to the 25 and they are different re. framelines. my mistake It is no problem to cut the recesses in the 25 flange, and the screws came out easily as well. jm@milich.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did it while you asked the question three times (and had it answered four times:rolleyes: ) Wrecks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP3 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share #26 Posted June 13, 2007 Hi John If everything is just that smooth, I shall take more pictures with my cv25 this month and send its flange to you for the right recesses the coming month. BTW, please kindly leave me your mailing address. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP3 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share #27 Posted June 13, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) John One more question, the CV25's rectangular hood is nicely finished (classic leitz like) except there is no 'window' at the left upper area, thus blocking quite a part of M8 VF. Would you be tactful to file an opening window on this hood so it became like the 35lux-asph hood? Cheers Matthew Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsrockit Posted January 14, 2010 Share #28 Posted January 14, 2010 The CV25mmP brings up the 24 and 35mm lines on my M8. Not only that, the 24mm framelines are reasonable accurate too. The whole package is so ergometric, everything falls into place. Wow, the newest 25mm VC lens is very accurate with the framelines on the M8. Moreso than the 35mm f/1.4 Nokton I was using... if this things was f/2.8 or so, it would be the cheap wide angle to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
