That’s great to hear! I was thinking about how paint might wear on the mount, between metal and metal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the LTM can be had in Black finish that would be a wonderful little lens to use with my 1930 Leica 1 Mod. A-to-C conversion. A truly pocketable point'n'shoot into the bargain! Philip.

I already have the M version in Silver-Chrome so picking up a Black LTM would allow me to have an all-black set-up with not only with the Leica 1 but also, using the LTM-M adapter, the M-D Typ-262. As my Leica 1 has Nickel fittings the S-C version would not (IMO) be a match made in heaven visually-speaking... Philip. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that is VERY tempting! I have had no dealings with AliExpress so don't know quite how import duties / taxes would be handled. Pergear - the company from whom I bought my M-mount example - seemed to be able to deal directly within the UK therefore no 'extras' were payable but even in the 'Worst-Case Scenario' where Duty and Takes would be added as the lens is advertised at under £300 any additional charges would be relatively affordable considering we are in LeicaLand... Thanks for the link, Huss, and I will have to give this some very serious consideration. Is having four 28mm lenses overkill?............ Philip.

I bought the Brightin Star 28 lens (waiting delivery) and they charged tax so hopefully nothing else to do on my end. Also... apparently TTA made only one batch of LTM lenses, and will make no more.

OK; I'm not a businessman (thank goodness) but surely someone within TTA has sufficient nous to draw some fairly obvious conclusions from these pieces of info?

geesbert Posted July 9, 2023 Share #512 Posted July 9, 2023 What a truly awful lens! I received mine yesterday, shot some 50 shots with it and hated every one of them. Especially OOF looks terrible.

You managed to get stuff OOF with a 28mm f5.6 lens? Wow! As D-o-F at f5.6 stretches from 2.4m to infinity that takes some doing!...........I guess you are correct; this lens is definitely NOT for you. If stuff OOF with a 28 is what you are after perhaps you should consider the 28mm Summilux instead? Philip. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I repeat, you bought a 28mm f 5.6 lens and are complaining about OOF? In related news, I bought a Leica APO M 50 and am sending it back because the auto focus sucks. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Miller Posted July 9, 2023 Share #518 Posted July 9, 2023 I have the M mount and quite happy with the images, especially for the price. If 28mm was my main focal length I would likely want something better but for my occasional use I am thrilled to have it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TTA 28 5.6, and Leica Summaron 28 5.6, are too slow to be used as the one and only 28. But w/in their design brief they are excellent. (as I'm sure everyone knows by now, the TTA may look like a Summaron on the outside, but is nothing like it optically). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing in this thread that convinces me that this lens will produce an image any better than the average mobile 'phone can. 'Characterless' is probably the most polite description I would use. Compared to a summaron, it's not even close to the ballpark 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
