MyLeicaWorld Posted February 3, 2023 Share #1 Posted February 3, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Two days ago I was at Tokyo.. there were lots of Leica Stores and dealers .. nearly at every corner I can say.. unbelievable.. Anyways, at the Tokyo Leica Store also where the Tokyo Leica Gallery was located, I’ve noticed a Leica M11 book in Japanese.. I’ve taken a look inside it.. and there were a section with best leica m11 lenses.. since I can not read Japanese I asked the salesman what was that topic about and he said best top 11 Leica lenses which performs best on M11.. as you can see the Summilux 28 is on the top.. surprisingly the summaron 28 is number 3.. What do you think what is taken as a criteria while making this list? Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Hi MyLeicaWorld, Take a look here Japanese Leica M11 book and best lenses for M11. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guest Posted February 3, 2023 Share #2 Posted February 3, 2023 I don't think that they are ranked in any order of preference. They're just listed by focal length and then by type e.g lux, cron. The box gives it away "M-Lens Line Up" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to them speaking English then you will understand why it's misspelled. I can not understand more than 80% of English that 80% of Japanese speak. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if these were simply the most popular lenses in terms of sales and the newest lenses at time of printing culled to 11 to match the model name as a hook Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geotrupede Posted February 5, 2023 Share #6 Posted February 5, 2023 28,35,50,75,... 0.95,1.4,2,2.8,5.6... seems to be a logical sequence nothing more. Nice in Tokyo, amazing place in an amazing country. Leica has many followers and in general camera culture is very strong. Expensive, but can find everything you wish. I personally would look for MS deals, wish to be back there at some point. G. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Richardson Posted February 5, 2023 Share #7 Posted February 5, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) In Japan the English text is not always used as much for meaning as it is for a certain international flair. I have not been back in awhile, but when I lived there you would often find some pretty hilarious and strange slogans and odd English on shops or products. At the time at least, far fewer Japanese spoke English than people do in Europe, for example, so the presence of English text is a way to be more fashionable or cosmopolitan. People are not really reading it over that much. It is kind of like Westerners getting tribal tattoos or incorrect kanji on their tattoos. For example, Ariana Grande got a tattoo that was supposed to say "seven rings", which was one of her albums, but they translated it literally, so the way it is done on her hand actually reads "Coal Barbecue" lol. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/jan/31/ariana-grande-mocked-for-japanese-tattoo-typo-leave-me-and-my-grill-alone And as errors go, getting its and it's wrong is something that is not really that bad. When I was teaching undergraduates back in the day at UCSB, you would often find far more grievous problems than that! Below are two examples that I took while living there that really made me laugh. One was on a case of beer, and the other I took out a moving car, so apologies for the sign in the way. Welcome, dear visitor!
