I love this lens. I owned one about 10 years ago and have now reacquired a nice copy. The 24 Elmarit is smaller but the Lux just renders so nicely and its also pretty easy to focus.

Framing the street is also simple as its 'just off the edge of the finder' with the added advantage that no one thinks you are including them in the shot.

Some images that show what I mean... Budapest Nyugati station.

It is indeed a great lens, I often come back to it. Great build quality, nice handling & unique signature.

Many leicamen hated 24mm so much saying it's an unorthodox leica focal length.  I still don't get it but found it very laughable but anyway. 

Yeah man, me too I love 24lux and 50lux (the previous version).  The 24lux is now a cine lens that cost about $11,000 USD these days.  I wounder who would purchase it...

Why did this need a new thread? There is a 24 lux appreciation thread already... Please help not turning this forum into Reddit.

Maybe because people don't search for "lux" in the when they mean Summilux?
