24mm Elmarit M arrived


Recommended Posts

congratulations on an exquisite lens. Recently got a used one and absolutely love it. The best corner to corner sharpness I've ever seen among other attributes, and a very interesting and flexible perspective on the M8......Peter

I also love this lens on the M8. I was asked why a 24 when I have a 21 and 28. I have declined to answer. This lens is worth every penny.

 

Is it really DIFFERENT from the 21 ASPH ? I'm late for a rethink, found an as-new 21 asph when bought the M8, sent it to Solms for coding directly, still waiting for comeback, have a 28... have not in my mind to have 24 too...

I use the M8's 24mm framelines. They pair with the 35.

 

The Kobalux is a Japanese-made lens, not terribly available anymore. The company marketed under other brand names. I don't remember them off-hand, but I'm sure that others will know. The 21/2.8 is a very nice lens.

Alexander, I don't shoot as much as the pros here. I used the 24 a lot in the Philippines on my lastest visit in April, and now I am playing with my Nikkor 85/2 and the Leica 50 'lux ASPH. I'll get around to shooting the 28s a lot more on the M8 when I have the opportunity in early July when I go to Portland.. Ask me around the second week of July, and I will know a lot more.
