Fedro Posted October 7, 2018 Share #61 Posted October 7, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) either way it sounds like you want the Summaron, so you can safely acquire that and see if option 2 works If the summaron satisfies your daytime/small and light you may decide that it is a good combo with the lux and if not sell it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Hi Fedro, Take a look here Summilux M 28mm - any regrets?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
LeicaPassion Posted October 7, 2018 Share #62 Posted October 7, 2018 I use the lux and summaron. The rendering of the lux is superb as many have written. I have never used it wide open. It's definitely worth the investment. The summaron has a totally different look. It's great for street and more gritty shots. They make a great combination. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELAN Posted October 7, 2018 Share #63 Posted October 7, 2018 After using the 28 lux for awhile, I sold my 35mm FLE I wish Leica would make a 35 lux that draws like the 28 lux! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrostl Posted October 7, 2018 Share #64 Posted October 7, 2018 Elmarit rather than Summilux here, but I returned it when I realized that the 28mm framelines on the M10 were unusably wide for me with glasses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thing just ruins it for me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedro Posted October 8, 2018 Share #66 Posted October 8, 2018 I have had them/used them all at some point. The Cron I used w/o hood and, indeed, it is a fine lens. Personally I prefer the sparkle of the Lux, but that's just me My sense is if you love 28s invest and get more than one, otherwise either the Cron or the Elmarit are more than adequate 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skater75 Posted October 8, 2018 Share #67 Posted October 8, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I had used 28 lux for couple months on my trip to Moscow. Excellent lens for street and for environmental portrait. I had to return it due to financial difficulties. But I am looking forward to get its silver version which is coming this or next year (I have a silver M10 to match ... )) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonzo Posted October 8, 2018 Share #68 Posted October 8, 2018 I was interested in the 28 Summilux and tested it last year. During the test I realized conciderable CA not only wide open when taking pictures against light. This is not the case with the 28 Summicron in this extent. As I love shooting pictures wide open, I refrained from buying the lens. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkmoore Posted October 8, 2018 Share #69 Posted October 8, 2018 Easy fix in post but there is a lot of purple fringing on Lux. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted October 8, 2018 Share #70 Posted October 8, 2018 Shoot wide open in a high contrast scene with a bright background and you get purple fringing. Easy fix. Stop down. This is caused by two things. The scene and the photographer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is caused by two things. The scene and the photographer. Is that how purple fringing occurs? Your response is over generalized and your assumptions not adequate. I wish there was an internet troll emoji. 1 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anika Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share #72 Posted January 6, 2020 And? Still happy with the Summilux 28mm? I would like to make my new M10-D with Lux 28 and Lux 50 a perfect set. Still not sure about the 50mm Summicron APO - any benefits compared to the 50 Lux?... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you described are workarounds, bad ones as well. Can't change the scene and it's not the photographers fault that a lens is designed the way it is. That being said: apart from the heavy CA (which can easily be fixed in post) it's a great lens. The rendering is sublime. I wish my 24mm Lux would render this way. I had both lenses, sadly the 28mm Lux just wasn't wide enough for my uses. 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
