I recommend a somewhat different approach when it comes to your first Leica lens: Don't be afraid to destroy the back account. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcnelly Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share #63 Posted January 29, 2022 Well, Just purchased the M10 from paulsydaus (thanks Paul for the demo with various lenses!) and found a 50mm 1.4 ASPH Summilux on FM, so I'm off to a good start! --Rick 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted January 30, 2022 Share #69 Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Cheap? Or less expensive? Cheap, and Leica, are not happy bedfellows. 🤔🤔 Edited January 30, 2022 by wda 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBranscum Posted January 30, 2022 Share #70 Posted January 30, 2022 Good luck, Op! I have a similar Leica story. I started off with the 50mm Summilux ASPH and a M9P. It is wonderful. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm considering a Leica M10 and need to get a good first lens that won't destroy my bank account. 35mm or 50mm suggestions? Thanks! Depends entirely on your proposed subject matter. I am about to come back to the Leica M fold and choose a 35mm Summicron F2 I have also bought a 90mm F2 secondhand. Those two will cover my needs.

But now that you’ve purchased your first M and three lenses in less than a month, my suggestion is to get off the forum for a few months and go shooting. Otherwise you’ll shortly pick up a 35 for a one lens kit, etc etc. The forum feeds GAS, not pics. I’ve been using M’s since the 80’s, and still use only 28/35/50. Sometimes less is more. Better to buy a good printer if you haven’t already… IMHO. Jeff 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rramesh Posted February 20, 2022 Share #79 Posted February 20, 2022 I’m in the market for a compact 35 lens. While the intent was to buy an older Summaron, yesterday I happened to see both the Summicron 35 ASPH and the latest Voigtlander Ultron. The Ultron is really value for money. It’s so good and compact to boot. Now it’s becoming hard to select one. The inability is often a good cure for GAS. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
