I am looking to purchase a used (excellent condition) Leica ASPH Elmarit-M 24mm (black). Any info

would be appreciated. Thanks.

You've never heard of Google?

I have a mint- condition 24mm for sale, with the finder. If interested e-mail me at sfbkatameritechdotnet. Thanks.

Ha! So you're ready to sell it already Abid? It's a stunning lens, but it just sat in my

bag- I hope you got more use out of it that I did!

Hi Andrew;

Its a superb lens; one of the best Leica made!

Unfortunately, it did not get utilized much and I could not get used to the separate finder! Hopefully, somebody else can make better use of it.

I did not get utilized much? Funny, I can't seem to set mine down!

I went on a walk around an old housing estate on Mon. Found I used my 24 mm lens a lot to shoot the old buildings 'cause with my 50 mm I would have to shoot across the road, which means waiting for breaks in traffic and all.

Abid:

 

I use the 21mm. Also needs a different finder.

 

I just measured the field of view with the viewfinder and memorized it. Now I don't use the

viewfinder so much. I see through the camera's finder and add a little more in my head.

 

You have such a big depth of field, that sometimes you don't even have to focus.

 

For me, this works.

A truly stunning lens performance wise, as you can see from this thread, some people don't like using the add-on viewfinder (focus with the standard finder, then frame with the add-on), however the 24 ASPH is one of the best Leica designs ever.

... true - I use the 24 quite a lot and it is a great companion when walking in the city and doing landscapes etc... also works on bars and indoors to catch the scene around you.

 

The picture qualtiy pusheds film to it�s total limit - I never ever never had a lens before that has both contrast and sharpness to this point ... unbelivable and a save purchase
