henry_ting2 Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I'm going to use Puts' saying "The soul of the lens". To me Leica is all about the lens, and I do get emotional when it comes to my favorite lens. Here's my list in order of preference : 50mm Cron, 35mm Cron, 21mm, 90mm Cron and last but not least the 75mm Lux. What are yours ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_m__toronto_ Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 the one that's on my camera in my hand. :-) ... and that's 90% of the time, a 35mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominic_. Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 50. I like the perspective of the 35 but I don't own one. My most useless one is a 70-300 zoom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james mitchell dc Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Mine would be identical to Henry's list, except that I don't own a 75mm and my 90 is a 2.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie_cheung Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 On the contrary, I really like the compactness of the body, rf viewing (especially in lowlight), the lenses small size and the overall most excellent built quality. Sure the optics are nice too. tiny sexy cron 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolaresLarrave Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Handsome 35/2 glass. Alas, no Leica, but Konica Hexanon. It looks pretty cool on either of my cameras (silver and black chrome)! Like the 'cron 50/2, not too crazy about my very old Elmar 90/4 (not the most popular item in the bag). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randy_skopar Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I'm with Jason on the 50mm Summicron collapsible in bayonet. It's my favorite. As they say about Patsy's spaghetti sauce, it's just different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
