crony Posted February 1, 2022 Share #21 Posted February 1, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, I am a 18mm type. Perhaps the test somehow found out about my greediness 😉... --- But I own M mount lenses from 12mm to 135mm. Maybe, I should use my 18mm ZEISS Distagon more often ... --- 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebben Posted February 1, 2022 Share #22 Posted February 1, 2022 135mm but I have never used one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgenper Posted February 1, 2022 Share #23 Posted February 1, 2022 Says 50. And that´s exactly what I use. Coincidence? 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thury Posted February 1, 2022 Share #24 Posted February 1, 2022 Says 50mm a focal length that I almost never use. My most used lenses are 35 and 90 so I guess 50mm is just in the middle... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexGig0 Posted February 1, 2022 Share #25 Posted February 1, 2022 Well, I “scored” as 28mm. I have tended to use SLR mid-range zooms at 30mm to 32mm. During photo walks with a 28mm and another lens, if I have started shooting any camera, with the 28mm lens, it has been unusual for me to switch to the different lens. 28mm lenses are very good for photographing my active, pre-school-age grandsons, because I can zone or scale focus, rather than taking the time to use the rangefinder. Yet, I do not feel constrained, if a 35mm is my only lens for the day’s walk-about, and the same is true with a 50mm, or even a 90mm or 100mm lens. My absolute favorite individual M-mount lens is my Summilux-M 50mm ASPH, it being my motivation for adding the Leica M system, in 2018. So, I will not argue that I should not have been scored as a 28mm shooter, but I will assert my freedom from being limited to 28mm. 🙂 My 28mm Leica lenses, in order of acquisition, are an Elmarit-R 28mm f/2.8, used with a Novoflex LEM/LER adapter, a Version 3 Elmarit-M 28mm f/2.8, and a Summaron 28mm f/5.6 LTM. I have more 50mm lenses, than 28mm lenses. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danner Posted February 1, 2022 Share #26 Posted February 1, 2022 Who will be the first to score the elusive 35mm? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised to see that before Crony and Sebben posted their 18 and 135 respectively the 'score' included nothing but 50 (x10) and 28 (x6). I had begun to suspect that there were only two outcomes possible... Philip. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted February 1, 2022 Share #28 Posted February 1, 2022 75mm. A focal length i don't dislike at all but one of my least used actually. i'm so obviously a 50mm guy that the relevance of this test leaves me wondering. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith (M) Posted February 1, 2022 Share #29 Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) 50mm, which is a relief as I have four of them! Anyway, a bit of lighthearted amusement. Hmm, on the other hand I also have four 35mm lenses - maybe I should sell them all eight and buy just a 40mm...

Michael Hiles Posted February 1, 2022 Share #30 Posted February 1, 2022 It called me a 28mm. Funny, I do not own a 28, and likely never will. I am a 50mm person98% of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp995 Posted February 1, 2022 Share #32 Posted February 1, 2022 This test is BS only It says I'm a "50" but I'm using 90% with 35mm ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted February 1, 2022 Share #33 Posted February 1, 2022 I think, on reflection, that the quiz isn't aimed at suggesting which focal-length any of us would most enjoy shooting with but is more in the vein of; "If you - as an individual - were a lens focal-length which lens would that be?"...

Dennis Posted February 1, 2022 Share #34 Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) There is a bug! The result says 28mm. I tried to cheat to "confirm" I'm a 35mm guy (the truth), and it results I'm a 50mm now 🤦♂️ Now I'm going to report Leica Miami Store 🤣 Edited February 1, 2022 by Dennis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaeger Posted February 1, 2022 Share #35 Posted February 1, 2022 This garbage is exactly like those internet article's headline like "here is 5 reasons why you need xxyy", I don't read any articles like that, it will dumb you down. I have a feeling that it's steering our mind to one direction only. Stay away from this kind of things and be yourself, use every sense or yours. We don't need spoon feeding or so call "expert" to tell us what we need. Wake up people! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olaf_ZG Posted February 1, 2022 Share #37 Posted February 1, 2022 50mm. that’s why i just ordered a 35 and 75… 50mm would be if i had only one lens, but 35 for inside, and 75 for outside fits me better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shirubadanieru Posted February 2, 2022 Share #39 Posted February 2, 2022 i don't think the 35 option even exists as a result? tried different options & never get 35 (probably because it does a bit of 28/50 it's hard to add it as a result?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Journey Posted February 2, 2022 Share #40 Posted February 2, 2022 Says I'm a 50 but the only Leica lens I have is a 35 and I find myself walking back to get the shot quite often and never walk closer. Guess I'm more of a 24 or wider guy... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
