  3. Thanks very much. Very helpful. I really like the 28 focal length as it means I can use my M7 without the external finder. I actually have the VC 28 Ultron 2.0 and it is a great lens. I bought it to see if I liked the focal length before investing the money in the Leica equivalent. I have not tried a 35mm on my M7 so hence my question just to see what the general feeling is. Here is a photo with the 28 Ultron on good old Tri-X. Very happy with the sharpness and the distortion is minimal (to my eye anyway). 3D look anyone? 😉

  4. while I dont shoot leica I found carrying primes within 10 – 30 MM of each other to be pointless. I tried carrying a 85 and 50 and found I would just put one on and never bother for the other. Idealy youd want a wide and tele prime but with a 50 your right in the middle, id go as wide as I could and leica makes a lot of wide lenses.

  5. I agree about the 28 Elmarit. When I am shooting with my 50mm Elmar, the 28 Elmarit is always in my bag. When I have the 35mm on my camera I rarely feel the need to change lenses (maybe sometimes will use the 21mm Skopar if I really need to go wide).

    • Great minds think alike! I like the 35 – 21 combo too! With the 21 Skopar + a 35 (in my case a CV 35/1.4), that’s one lightweight kit! I tack on a 75/2.5, and pretty much got everything covered.

  6. @Stephen – I feel the same way as Kalye. I use my 35 much more than the 50. But if I was really in love with 50, I’d probably stay away from the 35 and go for something wider like a 28 or even 21 or 24. The CV 28/1.9 is reportedly better than the CV 28/2, but not in production anymore. The 28 Elmarit is nice and small. Let us know what you get!

  8. Looks like the 35/2 went quickly. Just last week, B&H had a 35/1.4 asph version 1 for $2300 in 8+ condition. I didn’t think twice and bought it 🙂 The hood that came with it had a crack at the vented area, but nothing a little super glue didn’t fix. The 35/1.4 is amazing wide open, now I know what people are talking about when they say there’s ‘magic’. I’m all happy now 🙂

    @Stephen B, a 35mm or 28mm would be nice. Although, I found when I got a 35mm I didn’t use the 50mm that much anymore, at least for my shooting style. If you have cash to spare, a 35/1.4 is nice to have, especially in low light. That extra stop is so worth it. If f2 is good enough for you, then a 35/2 Summicron is an excellent choice or a VC Ultron 28/2, which is a lot cheaper.

  9. Guys (and gals)…

    if you had to have 2 M lenses and one has to be the 50mm summilux asph (cos I have that and it will have to be taken out of my cold dead hands 😉 what would the other one be? Just interested as I might be in the market for an additional lens for my M7 (I only have the 50 at the moment).

    I am thinking 28 elmarit as then I don’t have to use an external finder but I hear so much about the 35 cron too grrrr. What do you think?

    • 28 Elmarit. If sticking with a 50, a 28 makes most sense. If you get a 35 you will find that 35 and 50 are pretty close. When I have a 35 without a 50, I use it all the time and it becomes my fave focal length. When I have a 50, i never use the 35. If I had a 28, it would get more use with a 50. A 28, 50 and 90 is a good setup, or a 35/90.

  10. Nah – leave those comments in… and just ignore them. More power to the real community then. Let them advertise their idiocy to the world.

  12. the 50 and CM are already gone, im guessing the 35 will drop out this night as well. BH get a sweet deal with all the promotion, they have great prices but if people dont see them it wont matter.
