Big John Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share #21 Â Posted December 2, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Forgot to say that having closely examined and handled the Zeiss 35/1.4 and the M 35 summicron and summilux in the past week, physical observations: Â - I don't like how the aperture ring always seem sloppy/loose on the Ms - Zeiss aperture rings are taught and nice and clicky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 Hi Big John, Take a look here A second, smaller lens for my SL and 24-90. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
MT0227 Posted December 3, 2016 Share #22  Posted December 3, 2016 I suggest reviewing all the focal lengths you've shot with your 24-90; go with the one most frequently used.    I favour a 35mm focal length Appreciate any advice pls.ThanksJohn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share #23 Â Posted December 7, 2016 Hi guys, been too busy with work to choose my 35mm lens!! But need to get a move on to get it in time for Christmas!! Â I think I have decided against a summicron or lux. I have to keep reminding myself that this is a second lens, the 24-90 will be my main lens. Â Instead am looking at Zeiss: the 35/1.4 or maybe the f2. Â I have never looked at or handled Voigtlander and would appreciate any comments re the 35mm f1.2 norton II? Â Thanks.

I also concern to find the second lens, then finally to get M Apo 50 f2. I am very happy with this decision, except this len is quite expensive! Have a nice day! Thanks!

Sandokan Posted December 9, 2016 Share #25  Posted December 9, 2016 As someone earlier said, there are hundreds of choices. Canon 40mm pancake (currently on mine) and AF. Olympus OM 35mm. Canon FD 35mm. Voigtländer have a few. Zeiss ZF2 35mm Pentax 35 or 43  Why do you need to limit yourself to one? Goals! Start a collection and ask which one should be your first!   Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuau Posted December 10, 2016 Share #26 Â Posted December 10, 2016 Has anyone tried the Zeiss ZM 28mm Biogon on the SL? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share #27 Â Posted December 22, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Too many lenses to choose from for the SL! Zeiss distagon 35/1.4 and the Voigtlander 35/1.2 nokton ii might be too large and heavy for an M, but sit well on the SL. Trying to choose between them or a second hand summicron. I think the Zeiss size works better on an SL than the smaller M lens. Any users with comments pls? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabior Posted December 23, 2016 Share #28  Posted December 23, 2016 Hi.. my suggestion is for an Elmarit R 35mm , second or third version. I own it and the IQ is very close to that obtained from the 24-90 zoom and even close to the quality , very leica, of the summicron 35mm r first version that I own too. So , the elmarit 35mm I belive is a very good balance between  quality, price, usability with leica sl and size.  If size is not a problem ... summicron  R 35mm first version !  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
