Although I am a bit late to the party, I'd like to share my experiences as well. This forum helped me a lot making up my mind and maybe someone else can use this opinion.

Never too late. Thanks for chiming in!

My shooting in Italy taught me that I desperately need a 24mm lens.

I’m curious why you feel the need for a 24mm. I assume it’s for wider, more architectural and land/city scapes as opposed to street? At least that’s how I use 24mm on my Nikons. I had a 28 Elmarit, but decided to return it and stick with my 35/2, with the idea of maybe getting a 24mm (or 21mm) someday. I’m interested in how you would use a 24. I know Alan Schaller uses a 24 Lux, but he seems to be unique in that regard. He’s also one of my favs.

BTW both pictures were shot with zone focusing. The lower photo is one of 15 images I took in this crowded street until this happened. Perfect light, only one person, extremely long shadow. 10min later the light was gone.

I like both photos, especially the second one. Again, 35mm seems plenty wide to me for that type of shooting.

Thanks again for sharing your experiences and images!

Thank you.

I am too a big fan of Alan Schaller. Amazing photography 

I started working with the Q3 1.5y ago and even find the 28mm to narrow. The 35mm is not my focal length. It was just not wide enough in the narrow alleys of Liguria. I just ordered an Elmarit 24/2.8. I am going to visit Barcelona in November (conference and then a few days off) and very much looking forward to the 24mm. I also often used the 24mm on my Canon R5. Just perfect for me.

That Photons to Photos chart is accurate. The M11M is technically the strongest, then the M10M, then the M246 and then the M9M.

My favourite is the M9M though, go figure. Welcome to Leica Land.
