Hausen17 Posted August 12, 2009 Share #21 Posted August 12, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, I asked a question about the 28 Elmarit M last week as well. I purchased it over the weekend and am loving. Don't sweat your decision, you made the right one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

footnoteblog Posted August 12, 2009 Share #22 Posted August 12, 2009 If I were to just have one lens with the M8, it would be the 35 Summicron ASPH. Of course, it depends on the kind of shooting you do, but there isn't really all that much difference in focal length between the 28 and 35, but you gain the advantage of the extra speed of the 35/2. It is a very compact lens and you can generally find excellent used samples at good (for Leica) prices. I bought one about a year ago for $1600 and it is my most used lens. Exactly my sentiment; more reach/normalized fov (depending on who you ask), faster, same form-factor: tiny! I also have both lenses in question, and would sell the 28; pick up the newer cv15 for UWA.

offshore Posted August 12, 2009 Share #23 Posted August 12, 2009 I bought the same combo three years ago still have them, still love them. The 28 and my 21 Elmarit are my two most used lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
