Subject: [Leica] Recommendations for a lens wider than a 35

It all depends on how wide you are willing to go down to.  The 21mm & 24mm 
Elmarit-M-ASPH are superb lenses with minimum of distortion.  I have never 
used but heard that the 28mm Summicron-ASPH is exceptional too but with 
hefty on your checkbook.

Adam,

IMO with a 28mm the difference is not very much, me I prefer go to a 24mm or
21mm. I have the experience with the 4/21mm Super-Angulon (R), a very
amazing and creative lens, I think you can get something very nice on E-Bay,
or even in Shops as BH, I remember I've see on his website a 21mm for 1850$

Good luck!
Luis

Asunto: [Leica] Recommendations for a lens wider than a 35

I've never owned a lens wider than a 35mm. I'd like to explore that
territory and was looking for recommendatoins. I don't want to fork
over $2.5K for a Leica lens I ultimately won't use.

I'd like a relatively fast lens (better than f4) but otherwise I'm
curious what the recommendations are. I'm thinking in the $500 space
plus something for the viewfinder for it.

What are your recommendations for a "learner" lens?

Thanks

Adam
