Leica Elmarit vs Summicron 28

[Brian]

That's surprising! Did it front or back focus, or just out completely?

Let us know how #2 works out.

Looks like the latter. I'll update this thread soon.

That's usually a sign of misassembled optics, either in backwards or not pushed into the correct position. I've seen a few of those.

Thanks Brian, I'll keep you posted...

Take 2, so far way better...

Monochrom, Summicron 28:

The lens is a keeper, and the shots are great.

Dave - How much bigger (physically) is the 28 summicron than the elmarit? Congrats on the new lens and those are some very nice shots you posted.

Mijo, thanks. No direct experience with the elmarit, the summicron 28 is quite small, sans the big hood.

Getting accustomed with the 28mm fov, suddenly everything feels wide after using the 50mm for more than 9 months straight...

I need to take Nikki to the skating rink soon. They also have a collection of games.

They certainly look good on Monochrome!
