[Leica] IMG: M8 1st Shots and impressions.

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Yes, cool, thanks Len. The shot with the M8 looks terrific. No visible 
distortion at all, saturated  and sharp, sharp. My kind of
glass. See this one of mine for why I thought we had a similar idea from our 
backyards.

Your 21 is obviously the logical solution for the 28 view angle on your M8. 
Do find it balances/handles well?. I've not seen one in
the flesh. I've read great things re the 24 on the film M's, too. Also the 
ZI 25.

Cheers
Hoppy

Let me look for some 21mm stuff. I like it a lot. Turns into a 28mm.
