Advertisement Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Hi batmax, Take a look here sell the 21 mm f 2,8 for a 28 mm f2 ?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
luigi bertolotti Posted December 11, 2007 Share #2 Posted December 11, 2007 A guy from Brescia cannot agree with a guy from Bergamo (*)... isn't a problem of VF... if you like 21 FOV... keep it and find a used 28 2,8 : I bet you can even spare money... (*) with girls is different : I married one from Bergamo... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

batmax Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted December 11, 2007 Ciao Luigi: first of all : W atalanta (Bergamo football team ) :-) ! Then good choice for the wife you are right may be is a good idea for the lens : But I don't want to have to much lenses. I already have 21mm f 2,8 - noctilux 50 mm - 90 mm f2,8-. I want just have 3 lenses as a lens set and I'm interested in high speed lenses.. So I don't know ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Max, I always start by the principle that IS A PITY TO GIVE AWAY a Leica lens... high speed, you say ? Why not to try the CV 28 1,9 ? The advantage is that if you decide it's not for you, you can resell with, by definition, few money lost (and I could even be interested... my CV 15 arrived to me in a similar way...). W brescia !

It's agood idea? Depends if you need both lengths. Depends what you shoot. Depends on your style. Personally I've got both a 21mm and a 28mm. I don't see them as interchangeable; each has its own signature and I rely on them both. They are actually very different lenses to use, and the resultant image is highly specific to the signature. But your needs may be different. It's a question that only you will be able to answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(football team... well.. I'm not so engaged with...) I'd certainly recommend the CV 28 1.9 with a Milich coded screw/bayonet adapter. It's a very sharp lens even wide open.

rsh Posted December 11, 2007 Share #9 Posted December 11, 2007 Unless you need to sell the 21 in order to finance the 28, keep it. One day you will want to use it and you will not have it. You may then want to buy another only to find that the price has risen, shockingly, from the price you paid for it new and amount you sold it for used. You will kick yourself in the ass, tearing your ACL in the process, thus making the pain more excruciating. This from experience, though I did not tear my ACL.

leitz_not_leica Posted December 12, 2007 Share #10 Posted December 12, 2007 I use my 21/3.4 without an external VF...I've learned its coverage. In addition, at superwide coverage, composition is less important, IMHO. Just keep the camera level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artorius Posted December 12, 2007 Share #11 Posted December 12, 2007 I say keep it. Plus if you get the M8, you will maintain the almost 28 mm FL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom0511 Posted December 12, 2007 Share #12 Posted December 12, 2007 If its just the external finder 24 would be closer to 21. If its about focal length: 2 different stories. I use the 28 a lot on the M8, and its f2. cheers, Tom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
