Hi r/Leica,
I'm lucky enough to be buying my first Leica M (the brand new M10) this upcoming week. I'm buying this camera as my daily walk around camera, since I already have a Canon 5D with all ranges covered but find that camera too bulky to take with me all the time. I already own a fast 50mm (M) lens but along with the M10 I want to get a 35mm lens as a walk around (street, family, occasional landscape). This will be my first 35 prime. I quite like 50 but find it that bit too narrow at times, that's why I'm opting for a 35mm. For the 35mm I see two options a new 35 Summicron asph or a used 35 Summilux asph. Since the price is not far off (only a few hundred dollars) I'm having a hard time deciding between the two. What are the major differences apart from speed between the two lenses? Is the contrast of the cron really better than the contrast from the lux? If someone has experiences with these lenses I would appreciate some advice.
Thank you very much in advance!
When you have a Leica camera, it's important to explore lenses that allow you to take the kind of photography you want. A Leica lens can vary in focal length. Depending on the distance you are from the subject, there are various new and used lenses to explore on eBay.
What lenses does a Leica camera use?A Leica camera uses various SL lenses. It doesn't matter whether it is a film or a digital model. You do want to see whether the mount of the camera is the same as the lens so that you get the right fit. Otherwise, you will need an adapter to ensure that the fit is correct.
What are the different types of lenses?Many Leica options are available on eBay. Consider what you want your final photograph to look like to help you determine which option helps you accomplish your goal. You may also want to have a variety of Leica lenses in your photography bag so that you can change them periodically when you're shooting in a particular place. The types of Leica lenses available on eBay include:
When you choose a lens, the maximum aperture dictates where you can take photos. The smaller the number, the more light enters the camera. This allows you to take photos in darker scenarios. The aperture will typically range from f/1 to f/5.6.
As you shop for your prime lens on eBay, you may want to look at what else is packaged with the lens from the buyer. Some buyers provide just the lens while others create kits. Some kits with lenses available on eBay include:
