Advice needed--28 or 25 LTM?

[Bill58]

I've got a Canon 35/ 2 and CV21/ 4 but need something in-between for my Canon P. A 28 or a 25? Canon or CV? I shoot 100% B+W.


Thanks,

Bill

may I suggest?

If you can master what you already have, 35 and 21, it is more than enough.

But if gear interests you, get both.

I've always found 25 to be too inbetween a focal length for me--of course choice of focal length is so subjective; however, I find that a 21 and 28 are a good combination. I sold my 25 and don't miss it. I have the CV 28 and it is great (sharp, even tone although some vignetting at wider apertures)--very contrasty though, so depending on your taste... I understand the canon 28 by comparison has less contrast--I think Winogrand used the canon extensively--might be a good place to get a feel for the lens.

The Canon 25 is slightly faster than the CV 25 and has full RF coupling. If you want a good Canon 25 there's one here http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21452&page=2&pp=20
The 28 has gone. I can send some sample pics if you wish.
