Greets!
I got my Leica M7 earlier on this month (body only) and now looking to get my first lens. To start I would like to get a /fast/ 50mm Lens.
Initially i was going to opt for the Zeiss C Sonnar T* 1.5/50 - It seemed great, f1.5 is very welcome and whatsmore its compact.
- I was setled on this until fairly recently when I began to find people who said it had some serious focus issues when shooting wide open ( where the focus will shift ).
Now the lens I thought would be perfect for me, might not be so great after all, and I'm seriously considering not buying the 50mm Sonnar T* and looking for something else, maybe forgoing a lens for another month or so and getting the 50mm Summilux 1.4 asph.
I really want to start shooting with my M7, but if I do get the Zeiss, I dont want to have to worry about the focus shifting when shooting wide open, I mean why issue a lens with f1.5 and then expect people to shoot at say f4 / f5.6 to avoid focus problems, just doesn't make sense (to me).
I don't really know what I should do now :bang:
