Optics and Lenses - This forum is aimed towards the TECHNICAL side of photographic OPTICS and LENSES. There will be some overlap by camera/manufacturer, but this forum is for the heavy duty tech discussions. This is NOT the place to discuss a specific lens or lens line, do that in the appropriate forum. This is the forum to discuss optics or lenses in general, to learn about the tech behind the lenses and images. IF you have a question about a specific lens, post it in the forum about that type of camera, NOT HERE.

I've considered doing a second `Leica year' with my 21/4 SA (first was with a 50 'cron). Biggest drawback is the relatively slow aperture (compared to the Summicron, still faster than many DSLR kit lenses), but for the rest I don't see much problems.

Last summer holiday in Austria, I had initially mounted a 50 on my Bessa, but found it too constraining after just two or three shots. Fortunately I had the CV 25 along, put that on the camera, and didn't take it off for two weeks.

The weird thing was, I had expected to shoot everything with the 50, as I had used that during most of a skiing holiday a couple of months earlier and found the 25 too wide at that time.

At the moment, I'm having a NEX/16mm which is 24mm equivalent as a carry all day camera along. The 24mm equiv. FOV sits perfectly fine with me..

I mostly use my olympus OM cameras with a 24mm (sometimes I use the 85mm, and rarely a 50 or 35mm). really like that focal length, perfect for vacation shots

On the leica i mostly use 28/50 cause i don't have to use an external viewfinder
