It is a top performer worthy of its reputation and is priced right - for a Leica optic. Most bang for your buck (Dollar/Euro/Yen/Ruble etc.) Gene |---------+--------------------------------------------------------> | | "Ruben" <ruben@rhodos.dk> | | | Sent by: | | | lug-bounces+grduprey=rockwellcollins.com@leic| | | a-users.org | | | | | | | | | 04/30/2004 11:04 PM | | | Please respond to Leica Users Group | | | | |---------+--------------------------------------------------------> >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> | | cc: | | Subject: [Leica] best all round 50 mm?? | >-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| I use my 35 mm summicron (non asph, ca. 1990) 85% of the time and my 90 mm 15% on my M6. I never used normal lenses much, but by using them in medium-format I found that I am beginning to like them more and more. Since I never tried a normal 50 mm on my M6, and since I would probably not use it more them say 15-20 % of the time (time mostly taken by the amount I would have used the 35 mm) I do not want to use a fortune on a lens - I dont need the noctilux F 1.0, but I would like go for a lens of max F.2.0 like the summicron. Question ?? some of you shooting a lot of 50 mm with experience of different optics - what would be the best 50 mm allround optics, with an image quality like my 35 mm summicron - would some of the olde optics be as good - and what about voigtl?nder? I shoot a lot of pictures with little DOF so i prefere not to have optics showing pantagon/hexagon shaped highlights in the background ruben _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
