24mm Elmar f3.8 Photos

[Araakii]

I tried to find this thread but didn't see one. Let me know if it already exists somewhere.

I just love the new 24mm elmar. Everything just looks perfect to me.

You're doing a nice job of framing with the wide angle. Are you using an external VF?

Way below 3 grand. You can pick a like new used one for just over $2K. It's one of the best value among Leica lenses.

Yep, I use a 24mm external viewfinder. I hate to guess my framelines.

You have put your finger on something here because of all my Leica lenses (mostly modern) this 24 Elmar seems to have the richest colours.

A little love for the Elmar 24/3.8, it's been awhile . . . . .

. . . . . some great photographs!

Would love to see some more contributions from others who own the 24/3.8.

I have to say though, you are doing an injustice to the Elmar by shooting black and white. It's built for colors!
