80% lens

[wwulfsohn]

What is your 80% lens? By this I mean the lens you keep on your M8 80%+ of the time. Admit it, you all have your favorite - what is it? Mine is the Leica 24mm 2.8.

CV 40mm Nokton f/1.4 Milich modified to bring up 35mm framlines and coded.

Took this one with it:

35 MM Summicron f/2 ASPH is my only lens. To make bigger, I get closer.

 

[Keith]

f2. 35mm KM Hexanon.

 

[Hacker]

Enjoying the 50mm Lux ASPH, but the UC-Hexanon 35mm is gaining more time.

 

[tbarker13]

35 Summicron pre-asph !V.

 

[Nemo]

35mm Summilux ASPH.

 

[panos]

35mm SUMMICRON-M f:2 ASPH
it is the only one i have
i have the M8 for about 3 months now and it is such a pleasure to work with

 

[etherfarm]

Used to be 35mm Summilux ASPH. But I think that'll change to the 28mm Summicron ASPH. The more I use that lens the more I like it.

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

None. There's one that's 91.02567% of the time (meaning not 100% of the time), but about 58.160082% of the time when I carry other ones that I don't tend to carry.

That favorite lens is my 50mm Summilux pre-asph.

50 Summicron DR

 

[msendin]

Erikhaugsby, how did you fit the DR to the M8? I love this lense on my M3 and want it a lot on the M8. I thought to lime the near range focusing system but I feel something like pity for the good old DR. Is there any other solution?

 

[abumac]

1,4/35 Summilux from the 70th.

 

[bottley1]

Zeiss 50mm f1.5

 

[Richard Marks]

28 2.8 Elmarit
Its so tiny

 

[proenca]

100% of the time : 50 pre asph v3. brilliant but bit on the tight side.

I'm looking into the 28's and the 35's.

 

[saxshooter]

21mm Elmarit pre-ASPH

 

[dee]

Er ... i have been playing around with my50's screw Elmar and Summitar - I can't go for later lenses yet - the body caused enough aggro to achieve ! - but a mint / late coated Fed clip Elmar copy seems to be the sharpest , whilst retaining that Elmar feel ...
OOPs ! it's now almost permanently fitted to the M 8 , 'cos I now need to practise on the camera technique , and i am getting familiar with this lense ... I am less worried if it gets a knock too , dee'spraxia !

And it's so neat on camera - [ I guess I also like the anarchy of the Fed Lense cap ]

[Trius]

Damn, that Nokton is nice. Is that SC or MC?

No one using a Biogon (35 or 28) as their go-to lens on the M8?

 

[Digital Dude]

LEICA 1:2 SUMMICRON-M 28 mm f/2 ASPH ~ Spent too much money on it to use anything else!
