A question of cosmetics...35/2 biogon pictures?

[david_manning1]

<p>Hi Everyone,</p>

<p>I'm sure I'll get lambasted for this, but I'm interested in seeing an M body with a Zeiss 35/2 Biogon strapped to it. I can only find lens-only profile views and I'd like to get an idea of how big this lens is on my (new to me) M6. If anyone has the facility, a quick snap of an M body with a Leica 35/2 Summichron would be appreciated, for size comparison.</p>

<p>While I'm at it, I've read the archives...is there any reason people don't seem to like a chrome lens on a black body? I think it's kinda unique.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I don't own the combo myself, but have seen photos of it on flickr.com and on range finder forum.</p>

David,

 

Here is a Leica M6 + Zeiss 35/2 ZM:

<p>Chrome lenses are fine, personal preference.</p>

<p>The 35/2 ZM lens is a tiny bit smaller than the newest Leica 50 summicron if that helps. I had both for 1-2 years and never found any problems with the handling of the Zeiss. It's a fine size for actual shooting. The only place it might be a little too big is when you go to stick it in your pocket; it's like a 50 summicron then and not like a Voigtlander 28/3.5. </p>

<p>Thanks everyone for the replies. I have a black ZM 35/f2 on the way now. It's still smaller than a comparable SLR system.</p>
