Has anyone had any experience with the Leica R 35mm f1.4 on their D3 or L1 ?

 

This lens facinates me, and I'm thinking this could be an alternative to a D 25mm f1.4.....

 

Anyone with sample shots ?

ive never seen it, might be worthwhile

ive always fancied the Nocton 35/1.2, which is an impossible fit

 

fwiw check out these Leica 50/1.4 on an E330

I've just got hold of an R 'cron 90mm - looking forward to the results on the L1! In the hand it feels heavier than the kit 14-50 tho' !

That combo of 330 + 90 looks fairly compact - but maybe 180mm effective is a bit long a focal length for average purposes.

Oh for a wider prime! (11 or 12mm)

I haven't tried the 35mm, but I have purchased a 60mm Elmarit R and a 135mm Elmarit R. I have used both lenses with the Digilux 3.

Here are a couple of samples as well as links to flickr pictures for both lenses.

Brian and Ernesto, Thankyou for directing me to those superb photos. They are a shining example of what the D2 and L1 and D3 are very capable of. Well done

 

My reading of this forum and other Leica sites suggests there is some symbiotic relationship between both Summiluxes, 35 f1.4 and 80mm f1.4

 

I found this site of a Leica images <http://www.thechinaphoto.com/html/67/n-67.html>
