  1. <p>I own the 35mm f/2.5 Summarit and the 35mm f/1.4 Summilux ASPH FLE. Both are outstanding, with neither being significantly "better" than the other. What the Summilux is, is faster, not to mention a lot heavier and more expensive. If I'm going out for just the day or with just my M Monochrom with its 10,000 ISO ceiling, I usually just take the Summarit. For longer trips or when I expect to shoot a lot indoors or at night its the Summilux. Sometimes both, with the slower lens on the M Monochrom and the faster one on the M-E.</p> <p>With the exception of unanticipated available darkness, I've never wished I'd brought the other lens with me.</p>
  2. <p>Late to the party I know. I just got my Df last week and spent a small fortune on glass to go with it.</p> <p>AF-S 24-120mm f/4 VR for when I'm lazy (I won't use this much as I greatly prefer primes).</p> <p>Ultra Light and super cheap travel kit: AF 24mm f/2.8D and AF-S 50mm f/1.8G (kit lens)<br> Normal Travel kit: AF-S 28mm f/1.8G and AF-S 58mm f/1.4G (my favorite Nikon lens)<br> Casual Friday: AF-S 35mm f/1.8G only<br> Vintage: 35mm f/2 Nikkor O (AI'd), 105mm f/2.5 Nikkor P (AI'd, Sonnar type) and Nikon FM loaded with Tri-X</p> <p>and of course on actual photo trips I'll leave the zoom at home, but bring the 24, 28, 35 and 58mm AF Nikkors, the vintage 105 and my Leica M Monochrom with 35 and 50mm Leica glass.</p>
  3. I have a late Sonnar version, AI'd and absutely LOVE it on my Df.
  4. <p>Som other gems are the old radioactive MC 28/2.5 and the MC 135/2.8 PF. The wide is super-sharp and is fairly well-corrected for distortion. The tele is sharp in the center from wide-open and by f/5.6 is sharp to the corners. What makes the 135 so great though is the bokeh, which I like better than the famous 4/4 135mm.</p>
  5. <p>I bought my M5 directly from Sherry, fully serviced. It is an absolute beauty.<br> <img src="/bboard/L1003192-Edit.jpg%20by%20Lawman1967,%20on%20Flickr" alt="" /></p>
  6. <p>This lens is terrific. I've had it for about three months now and it is 95% as good as my Leica 35/2.5 Summarit. Nice bokeh and very sharp.</p>
