[Leica] Experiences Elmarit ASPH 28 vs IV generation E-46?

[bd at bdcolenphoto.com (bd@bdcolenphoto.com)]

I should add, Luis, that I never used the M 24 - a 24 was always part of my 
SLR kit. 21 was my M wide. I came to think of the 28 as an almost-normal, a 
lens which, if used carefully, produced distortion free images, but which 
could be used to induce intentional distortion. And the Summicron is 
virtually flare-free.

Hi B.D.

I've never used a 24, I always thaught that it may give no big difference
with the 21. Waht you say would be probably quite similar on my own
experience, maybe if I had on my hands a 28 as the Summicron I'll become an
enthousiast too. IMO, before to invest/expend the money that Summicron cost
I can start to play with the less expensive 2,8 ASPH. I'm agree with you too
about the use on the real world against the bench test. I'm sure that this
is a lens for use on a very dynamic sense of photography, as you do, and as
I like too.

Thanks for your opinion, this hardly temtpted me!

Saludos cordiales
Luis

I had always ignored the 28 focal length, favoring 24, 21 and 35 - until I
came upon the 28 Summicron ASPH. That became my most used Leica lens,
compelling me to buy a .58 body. I don't know from bench tests, but I'd be
hard pressed thinking of how to improved upon it in the real world.

Hi Len,

I'm absolute agree with your opinion, and you are absolute right with my
approach giving a value to the compactness and the filter size.

In fact I'm not a great user of the 28, I use much more the 35 and the 21, I
use only the 28 on the Tri Elmar, and maybe this is the reason why I do a
few use, the Tri Elmar is big and has a slow speed F4. Anyway for my style
the 28 is in between the 21 and 35 and I can leave at home the 21, but no
the 35.

Thanks for your opinion
Saludos cordiales
Luis

Hi Luis,

I only have the last, pre-asph Elmarit. It is an extremely fine lens and
gives beautiful images at any aperture. But I suspect the new asph lens is
fine as well. It is doubtful you will see any difference to the older lens
unless you take photos of lens charts. It sounds to me you would like the
newer lens for it's smaller filter size and compactness. I would not worry
about buying either one.

Best Regards,
Len
