Thinking about a 75mm Lens

As others have said for its form factor it is a remarkable lens and I use mine paired with a 35mm. That pair covers 95% of what I shoot.

 

 

I agree totally with that and it is now the pair of lenses I own (35 cron asph and 75 cron AA )waiting for my M9 to come...

The 75 is new from today and never took a picture.(BTW I didn't buy an IR filter )

 

The 3rd one to join will probably be a 21 or the 18.

 

All the best,

Jean-Luc

So you gave up on the 75 Lux ? ;)

I found one in Spain and expect to receive it tomorrow.

But for the M9, not until mid October unluckily.

Hello Yan,

 

I found that the Lux was very big and was tempted as you saw on the previous post, towards the summarit.

Then I was almost sure that I would regret it and would want to "upgrade" it with the 75 AA.

 

I sold my 50 lux and bought the 75. 35 and 50 for the M9 seemed really to close and I feel,I think like you that the one of the best 2 lens combination is 35 and 75, street and portrait.

I chose the luxury too wich is to acquire new lenses and I assume that taking them out of the box that they should be in perfect condition.

 

We could meet one day in Paris and shoot with both lux and cron and compare the different fingerprints.

 

Warm regards,

Jean-Luc

Maybe you should have waited a bit more before buying new ... if history repeats itself you will soon get a 30% discount for delivery delays on the M9 ;)

I think you took the "reasonable" choice with the 75 Cron. Everybody talks great about it and its size seems relatively smaller than the Lux. I went for the Lux because of F1.4 which I had tested in the past, such a special rendering. Yet, I am not giving up on the 60mm Hex, I will shoot both for a while then keep one.

Yet, as you suggested, would be great to meet once and try all of that. Let's talk again where our M9's arrive !
