Cayenne Posted January 8, 2021 Share #104 Â Posted January 8, 2021 For all of those that have pre-ordered this, what are you primary uses of it you're looking forward to? Film or digital bodies? Portraits or street shooting? Landscape..or just some fun speciality shots for fine art type stuff? I'm looking forward to getting some great images on my M10M.

a.noctilux Posted January 8, 2021 Share #105  Posted January 8, 2021 🎯 ant that JUST a lens , Cayenne ? A tool (hopely very good one) to use as you want. A good lens (or any "tool" ) is as good as the user want it to be (or learning how to ? ). I'd take time to learn (as usual) how to work it out, as usual "apo" or not can be fun or not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cayenne Posted January 15, 2021 Share #106 Â Posted January 15, 2021 I got an email from Camera Quest a day or two ago, said that the lens was coming, and he'd ship out the 27th or as soon as he got them in. Â Hmm, I'd better get the M10M out this weekend with my existing lenses as that they may be neglected for a bit after the new 50 comes in. Â I hope everyone is doing well and has a great weekend!! cayenne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brancbūth Posted January 27, 2021 Share #109  Posted January 27, 2021 Has anyone received this lens? Now that it is available, does any one have any input? I know it's early days, but I'd definitely be interested in how this lens performs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edax Posted January 27, 2021 Share #110 Â Posted January 27, 2021 Yes I have received it just this afternoon. Did some quick test w.r.t. focus accuracy etc. and performance at the wider stops. It seems like a keeper... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Nice review. More glowing reviews to come i imagine. In terms of preference i hope one day they will make a version without a chrome ring...silver leica filters arent the cheapest in the market lol Maybe time to sell my cron lol  Edited January 28, 2021 by cboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cayenne Posted January 28, 2021 Share #114 Â Posted January 28, 2021 The postman just handed me mine...

It seems to me that it can take the same pretty nice pictures. And it's half that big. Edited January 28, 2021 by epand56 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame he couldn't get his horizons level for a published review. It's a camera store, not a sponsored review to show the best it can do, so I don't think they care too much. You can find way more samples on the E-mount version like here, this one seems to be very similar from what I can see, e.g. extremely well-corrected just like the APO-Summicron. It is safe to say that the advantage really starts to come in when we see 100+ megapixel FF cameras, these lenses should really excel with handling that.

It is a bit shorter than the ASPH since it extends past the lens mount more. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
