Alan J Posted October 15, 2021 Share #1 Posted October 15, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Seeking opinions, input, general ideas about visiting the great cities of Europe and beyond to capture Architecture. Using M10M body, just how wide is wide enought? I have seen some interesting images in Prauge that seem to suggest quite wide. Looking to stay in a 2-3max lens kit.

SiggiGun Posted October 15, 2021 Share #2 Posted October 15, 2021 Europeans cities are less dens than Hong-Kong or New York. Two options: 21SEM + Tri-Elmar-M 28-35-50mm + MACRO90 Or 24Elmar + 50cron 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So one of your lenses should be faster than the set suggested unless you plan to take a tripod. (Which I doubt) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan J Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted October 15, 2021 Thinking I would not be wanting to carry along a tripod, so what would be the "faster" lens choice for interiors? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted October 15, 2021 Share #5 Posted October 15, 2021 28 mm or 35 mm Summicron or, if funds permit, a 28 mm or 35 mm Summilux, instead of the MATE. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

masjah Posted October 15, 2021 Share #7 Posted October 15, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Although, with modern digital sensors, you can get away with jacking up the ISO quite substantially, so a slower lens isn't quite the problem it used to be in the days of film. (I used to use and R9 with a 28/2.8 PC and Fuji Reala 100, when really there was no alternative to a tripod.) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.noctilux Posted October 15, 2021 Share #8 Posted October 15, 2021 Alan, The most important would be trying the kit before departing. - general suggestion , take the "less is more" philosophy, not easy at first... two lenses would be "better choice" than three, even one would do (for the day ! ) - I do this for some years now when travelling : I took 3-4 lenses, but choose with care the kit for the day, the kit can be only one lens. In my kit, I often include PC lens * if I fancy to mimic view camera to have it handy, not kind of Leica M use but funny - not "natural choice", but I choose the other lenses after choosing the PC lens, more light gathering (F/1 to F2), long focal length (90/135/280/400) for interesting details on architecture * Super-Angulon-R 28mm, PC Nikkor 28/35 or Shift Zuiko 24mm to choose from with the right adapter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixeleater Posted October 15, 2021 Share #9 Posted October 15, 2021 My M kit for architecture, interiors, landscape is an M10-R with 28 Summilux and APO 50. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simone_DF Posted October 18, 2021 Share #10 Posted October 18, 2021 If you want to go wide, why not the Voigtlander 21mm 1.4 or 1.8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
