[Leica] FW:Re: 50 Summilux

[john at mcmaster.co.nz (John McMaster)]

Same as on film cameras but you have to use LV or EVF in the close range to 
see what you are focussing on.

Which 35/1.4? If an asph then the 50 Summilux asph will give a similar look, 
if pre-asph the DR Summicron or 50 Summilux pre-asph will be more similar - 
of course you realise you need the full set ;-)

 A DR Summicron that has been operated on works well on the M240?  In the
close range?  Details, please.

I am looking for something smaller and lighter than the Noctilux.  I love
my Noctilux but I don't always need 1.0 and the size does keep me from
using it as often as the 35/1.4 which is my normal lens to keep on the M240
or the MM but the 50 would give a little more reach and a "normal"
perspective.

Thanks,

Tina
