lct Posted January 5, 2022 Share #165 Posted January 5, 2022 Good old 35/50/90 favorites since the thirties. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted January 5, 2022 Share #166 Posted January 5, 2022 I find the 90 frame lines much better to compose than the 75. I'm sure that if I could avoid (masking) the 75 frame lines, I would use more my 50. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but take into account that a lot more versions of the 90mm exist than 75mm. That could explain we see double 90mm vs 75mm. It seems to me that we got data mostly from people “collecting” lenses. Average of more than 9 lenses per Leica M user seems unusual high to me. If you take out the multiples for the same focal length the score for the 90 vs the 75 is 66% vs 50%, meaning from all the respondents 66% indicated to have one (or more) 90mm lenses versus one out of two having at least one 75mm.

Maybe with equal # of versions (hypothetically) in both FL, would we still have more 90s than 75s? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef63 Posted January 7, 2022 Share #172 Posted January 7, 2022 For those who are interested in which focal length is the most popular I took out all the multiple lenses and what you see now is that the numbers are much closer. So from the 77 respondents 99% have at least one 50mm, 92% at least one 35mm and so on. Welcome, dear visitor!

a.noctilux Posted January 7, 2022 Share #173 Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Thanks Stef63 for your effort of statistics. If I had added my number * of 50 lenses, your statistics would change quite a bit 😉 👍 99% for 50 Focal is already so good, we would never reach 100%, it would be meaningless anyway. * not counting them for many years now, so I have no idea of this number Edited January 7, 2022 by a.noctilux 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe - given that I have a pair of Edition 60s and yet rarely use a 35… I’m actually wondering if with the M11 high-res sensor 28 will become the “New 35”? I don’t have a Q2 but the “cropability” seems to have persuaded some die-hard 35ers to widen their view as it were. Wondering how the 28 Lux will fare as a walkaround…🤔 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of 21's as opposed to 18 mm lenses surprised me also. I do have a 18 Super Elmar Asph but no 21 mm. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted January 8, 2022 Share #177 Posted January 8, 2022 I'm surprised by how many people are "surprised" by how important the 21mm focal length has been in Leica history. Speaking just for myself, a 20 or 21mm lens has been the very first lens I bought in any new camera system since 1977. Because I was heavily influenced by all these Leica photographers. JeanLoup Sieff's ground-breaking 21mm nudes. https://alchetron.com/Jeanloup-Sieff https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1&biw=1737&bih=1247&tbm=isch&oq=&aqs=&q=Jeanloup+Sieff+nudes Or Jill Freedman's Firehouse - made with a Leica and 21 and 35 lenses, and a Nikon for 105 and 180 lenses: https://www.google.com/search?q=Jill+Freedman+Firehouse&client=firefox-b-1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjt0aq85qH1AhULLs0KHR0QCngQ_AUIBygC&biw=1737&bih=1247 Or the work of Paul Fusco for LOOK magazine and Magnum, using Leica M 21/28/35, plus a Nikon for longer lenses: https://www.magnumphotos.com/newsroom/politics/la-causa-the-california-grape-strike/ https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1&biw=1737&bih=1247&tbm=isch&q=Paul+Fusco+LOOK++magazine&chips=q:paul+fusco+look+magazine,online_chips:california&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi4xpf356H1AhWokmoFHdk1DgwQ4lYIDCgB David Douglas Duncan's pix of the 1968 US political conventions (Self-Portrait USA😞 Mostly 21mm (or a prototype 400mm f/6.8 Telyt-R): https://www.harrison-hiett.com/book/2560/duncan-david-douglas/self-portrait-usa/ The list goes on and on: Fred Maroon, Will McBride, Ernst Haas.

That is quite a lot, probably caused by people having max 2 lenses being less represented in this survey. If they were included the distance between 50 and 35 might change too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
setuporg Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share #179 Posted January 11, 2022 Thank you very much @Stef63 for all the data science! When I started the thread I hoped to glean such insights but not necessarily through such a comprehensive stats. Great findings! 50 rules but an enormous amount of 28s and 90s was a surprise. Using 75 and 90 is refreshing. Lots of other inspiration here… 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
