Guess I'm more of a 24 or wider guy... I guess walking back makes the quiz think you prefer longer focal lengths. And maybe you also liked the pictures of shallow DOF and larger bokeh balls? These are things that will probably pull you towards 50mm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walk back because I want to capture more in the frame than the 35 allows. On my Nikon I often shoot with a 14-30 lens and usually keep at the wider end.

If you are photographing people, going backwards will often mean that you want a longer focal length to be more discreet. But of course I do not know if this was what the quiz makers had in mind.

For a while there, I thought what they had in mind was, "We're overstocked on 50s and 28s - move the merchandise!" But then at last a few other focal lengths were mentioned. (I got "28mm" also. But in reality that is my 5th choice (after 21, 135, 75, 35, but before 90 and 50). 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemgb Posted February 2, 2022 Share #45 Posted February 2, 2022 I got 28mm. Since I recently bought a 28mm Elmarit and SLOOZ it seems pretty accurate. 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erato Posted February 2, 2022 Share #46 Posted February 2, 2022 You're a 35mm. Let’s be honest, everybody loves you. You’re always there and you never disappoint. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Barnack Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share #48 Posted February 2, 2022 My retake result was 28mm, same as my first. I hope Leica will introduce a 28mm APO M lens sometime soon... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own 2 50s, a 35, and waiting on delivery of a 75. I have owned all the 28s and sold each of them because i found myself constantly cropping. I guess i was not going wide enough. So says the internet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
didier Posted February 3, 2022 Share #50 Posted February 3, 2022 I was first told to be a 18mm guy, which is quite surprising for me, as I seldom use very wide Lenses… I recently got a 3.8/24 to go wider but it is very wide for me. An opportunity to learn Second time, I was told to be a 50 guy, which is very true now. 90% of my M shots are with a 50 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilsen Posted February 3, 2022 Share #51 Posted February 3, 2022 28mm, nailed it. I shot only 35mm for ages but then 2 years ago I got a 28mm and I've never looked back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
