newnew Posted October 19, 2020 Share #5 Posted October 19, 2020 The 24 Elmarit is a great lens I was very fond of. The small problem is that it is bulky with the front lens shade. I had to chance of acquiring an excellent copy of Summilux 24 and sold the Elmarit in a trade to acquire a monochrom. But It is a lens that has its own style and great results. The rest is the photographer's ability. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, the 24/2.8 Elmarit is quite a bit more compact than any of the Summilux 21, 24 and 28 lenses. Cheers, Andy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Andy Andy, This is not my experience. It is true that the Lux is longer but Elmarit was larger and was less ergonomic I found in terms of balancing. The Lux balances very well on my Monochrom 246. But all of this is personal preferences and I believe this is what OP was asking. I am not recommending him to buy rather a Lux though. Elmarit is optically great if he is fine with it. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oekoek Posted October 19, 2020 Share #8 Posted October 19, 2020 At 1000 USD it is a bargain, i have a keen interest in that lens and the cheapest one I've seen so far is €1650,- Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark T Posted October 20, 2020 Share #11 Posted October 20, 2020 Seems a lot next to the 28 Summilux. There might be situations where you need both. Just not many I can think of. 21 mm or wider probably makes a better addition if you need wider. A lot will come back to what you are trying to achieve. Shooting indoors? 28mm Summilux is better suited. Landscapes? A more compact 21 or 24 mm Elmar would be better suited (although the 28 mm will do pretty well as the lens you already own). Street photography? Probably covered by the 35 or 28 mm you already have. What does the 24 mm 2.8 achieve that your current lenses do not? Width? I know they're different but you're not getting much more than 28 mm. Speed? It's slower than your 28 mm. Size? There are smaller alternatives available. For those reasons I don't see the point. Sure $1000 might be a good price but so what? I'd still prefer it in my wallet. That said, you won't have to look far to find other people to support your decision to buy, as you would no doubt like to. Did you ever ask these questions before and not buy the lens afterwards? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Dahl Posted October 21, 2020 Share #12 Posted October 21, 2020 I'm very happy with mine. Fantastic on f4/f5.6 - ok on f2.8. There is something magical about the pictures. Very different from eg the new 35 f2. I use it more than my 35mm on both my M D and M9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcatral14 Posted November 6, 2020 Share #13 Posted November 6, 2020 Have the lens. Mine is the silver brass version. Love it 🙂 These were shot on my M240. At $1k if clean, it's a no brainer. Get it 😈 Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Stein K S Posted November 7, 2020 Share #14 Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) I have a nice chrome copy of this lens and really enjoy it! Delivers really all the time with a very pleasant rendering! 1000 USD... well, that is probably not very much more than the production cost of only the second lens element in this lens alone... 😉! Go and get it! Edited November 7, 2020 by Stein K S Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oekoek Posted November 9, 2020 Share #15 Posted November 9, 2020 So Kaymar, did you buy the lens? I did, the €1650 one i was talking about earlier. I must say it is worth it, i have been using several times lately and. I think the results are very special, i understand why some called it one of Leica's best lenses. Here are some photo's i made in the last few days. Welcome, dear visitor!
