looking for affordable new RF

For once, Roland, I must disagree. Ralle's aims include "portraits ... and detail shots". Logic, to me, would suggest a lens in the 75 to 105 range.

I think Ralle himself said he was willing to start with a 50 (which BTW can be a great portrait FL).

The detail thing do address the issue of minimal focusing distance. The canon may not be the best lens for that with its 1m limit. I think the Nokton is also limited (0.9?). I don't see other affordable fast 50's with close focus at 0.7 (Now that I think about it, it's a bit strange, although fast+close focus may be stretching the lens design)

Mukul, I would completely agree with you for myself, loving teles and having a whole collection. I just thought they were excluded.

Cheers,

Roland.

Roland, Ralle says "a ~90mm portrait lens" -- not to begin with but "later". Being a conservative sort of fellow, I'd say a 50 and a wide should be followed not by a super-wide but by a ~90mm.

Thanks a lot for your help.
I reflected about all the possibilities with different focal length.
And I think I need a 15mm, 28mm, 50mm and a portrait lens with more than 50mm.
The Voigtlaender doesn't have a 28mm frameline.
So its absolutely essential for me to buy a Zeiss Ikon. :angel:

ferider ... you were talking about a 28/1.9.
I only found 28/2 lenses.
What lens are you talking about exaktly?

Hallo Ralle,

the older version of the CV fast 28mm Ultron. f1.9 and Leica Screw Mount. Not available new anymore (discontinued) but available on the the used market. Looks like this:

Cheers,

Roland.
