justin_ng1 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 35mm M Mount Lens for Under 650US? I'm about to get a M2, so I was wondering what 35mm lens I should get for it. I want a Voigtlander Nokton 35/1.4, but my dad already has it, so I'm thinking of getting the Voigtlander Color Skopar 35/2.5. I might use my SM lenses on my M2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_bowling1664874721 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Does it need to be new? I bought a 2.8 Summaron for about that much recently. It's lovely and I have the feeling most Leica lenses, while not an investment, don't lose much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_ng1 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 I agree, the 35/3.8 summaron is my other choice, just sold my 35/3.5 summaron ltm tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_gilbert4 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 How about the new Handevision Iberit 35mm/f2.4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgpinc Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) There are some really good Voigtlander 35's for Leica M cameras. Voigtlander Leica Mount Lenses Cameraquest - Scroll down to the 35mm section. The 35mm Skopar lens group is very small and light and inexpensive, and the 35mm Nokton 1.4 lenses close to your budget. These Vigtlander lenses have a very good reputation for sharpness and performance. Here's a used Zeiss Biogon f2.0 35mm lens on the bay used for $858 that is generally considered as good as the Leica 35mm Summicron. Voigtlander Leica Mount Lenses I sold off all my Leica M equipment a few years back after being a Leica user for over 35 years. My current RF camera is the little Sony a6000 with 24mp sensor, generally with a 35mm Sony 1.8 lens that is very sharp. Good luck Edited May 9, 2017 by wgpinc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
