jrethorst Posted October 4, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 4, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm going to get an M10 and 35 summicron. I think that since I can crop a full-frame image a lot, I wouldn't really need another lens, but I had the idea of getting a Zeiss 35mm too. The personalities of the lenses of those two companies differ, and it would be interesting to shoot with both. Does anyone do this kind of thing?

spydrxx Posted October 4, 2019 Share #2 Posted October 4, 2019 Sure. It really comes down to whatever floats your boat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted October 4, 2019 Share #3 Posted October 4, 2019 Cropping to replace another lens is something i am not capable to do so i would choose another focal length personally but no 35/2 Leica is flare free by example so i prefer the ZM 35/2.8 or VM 35/2 from this viewpoint. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

evikne Posted October 4, 2019 Share #5 Posted October 4, 2019 I have three 50 mm lenses because that's my most important focal length. And I can't imagine getting rid of any of them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonzo Posted October 4, 2019 Share #6 Posted October 4, 2019 I wouldn`t start with two lenses of the same length. That doesn`t make any sense to me. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stein K S Posted October 4, 2019 Share #7 Posted October 4, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) After aquiring my first Leica lens, a 35mm, I added a 50... then a 90.... but then I added my second 35 ;-) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
genji Posted October 4, 2019 Share #8 Posted October 4, 2019 I have three 35mm lenses: a C Biogon 35/2.8 ZM, a Distagon 35/1.4 ZM, and an Utron Aspherical 35/1.7 LTM. When I want to shoot with a 35 I either take both Zeiss lenses or, for a smaller, lighter kit with a gentler rendering, the Ultron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hiles Posted October 4, 2019 Share #9 Posted October 4, 2019 How do you choose which of your 35mm lenes to put on the camera? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since mine render differently that is one criteria. Another is silly though....which looks best on the body I've chosen to carry. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
evikne Posted October 4, 2019 Share #11 Posted October 4, 2019 When I see my pictures at home, I sometimes think that this picture had been better with the other lens. But it's not always easy to know which lens is most suitable when I'm out shooting. 😄 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexGig0 Posted October 4, 2019 Share #12 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) I have two M-mount thirty-fives, a Leica-M 3.5cm f/3.5 Summaron, and a Zeiss 1,4/35mm Distagon ZM. Different “signatures,” different maximum apertures, and different sizes; makes sense, to me. I tend to use the Zeiss on an M10, and the little Summaron on a Monochrom 246. Plus, I have two 35mm Nikkors, a 35/1.4G and 35/2D, and two Canon 35mm EOS EF lenses, a 35/1.4L II and a 35/2 with Image Stabilization. That is one compact, and large lens, per system. I reckon that I like Thirty-Fives. 😉 Edited October 4, 2019 by RexGig0 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko.Fe. Posted October 4, 2019 Share #15 Posted October 4, 2019 If I would have OP money :), I would skip Cron and Zeiss and get one and only FLE. Switching lenses just because they might still show some character after cropping is not my thing on digital M where dust shake is still missing. Film, I do switch my two 35 from time to time. On digital I prefer lens without flare, nervios bokeh and odd colors. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
