peter_bongard Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Hello! How does the Elmarit-R 24/2.8 perform in comparison to the Canon 17-40/4 L? Which one is sharper? Thanks Nitro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrevallejo Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I can't tell exaclty on these two,but I just compared the Elmarit-R 35mm 2.8 with the Canon 17-35 2.8L (yesterday,actually), and the Leica is an absolute clear winner to me. Looked at the photozone link,and the result of the two lens I tested made me be suspicious on their methodology... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david k. Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Hey Andre, comparing any wide angle lens to a 35 Elmarit-R (55mm filter) is really not fair. That is one lens that is with me for life ;-) Has to be one of the most underated lenses of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrevallejo Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Some real-life comparisons here...hand-held and lightning somewhat variable,but serves the purpose... http://vallejo.smugmug.com/Leicanon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_bongard Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 Ok - but what about the 24mm ELmarit-R? AFAIK its reputation is not that good...Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavier_dalfort Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Peter, you are comapring a Fix lens to a Zoom To the precise point how is it at 24mm, I have not the answer. THe Elmarit 24 has a design from Minolta but it has been improved by Leica. I'm fond of it, even illumination, no vignetting, not aberration, it's difficult to imagine it's a wide angle. Make sure you are using the lens shade (as on any WA). You would be diglighted of results if you had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xavier_dalfort Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I manged to try the 24 Elmarit on a Digilux 3, helped out by Novofle adaptor. It is very-very nice, corner to corner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
