Cv 35/2.5

 

Hi Sean,

 

I bought this lens after reading the many and varied rave reviews but never warmed to it.

 

I was hoping this lens would provide a light weight alternative to my 35 LUX ASPH but the raggedy bokeh gave me heartburn !

most used and favorite by a wide margin: Summicron 28/2 ASPH - 6-bit

next: MATE - 6-bit

not too frequently used: 90/2.8 TE fat (1966), uncoded

least used: 35/2.8 summaron, uncoded

 

But the summaron and TE are still excellent lenses (admittedly the 90 TE suffers from flare) and give a nice nostalgic look.

I can only say what's been the most-used in recent months because it changes depending on where I go.

 

In order of frequency: WATE (a pleasant surprise), 28mm f/2, 50mm f/1

 

Current favourite: 75mm f/1.4

 

Regards,

Mark

My 24/2.8 has the sharpness and clarity that really do it for me. However I use the 28/2 more due to the weight (my 24 is silver), speed and coverage. The other favorite is a black paint 50mm Summilux asph. Great lens.. No matter which wide I reach for I always have the Summilux asph with me. My new 24/3.8 just arrive at my home this afternoon according to the UPS e-mail I got today so this is going to be interesting!
