M-Rokkors on the M8 -- pictures please!

[efix]

Hi everyone,

I'd like you to share with me your pictures taken with a Leica M8 and one of the M-Rokkor lenses, especially the 28/2.8 and the 40/2 (not so interested in the 90).

I've owned a 28 M-Rokkor for a while myself and loved it for its compactness, but regrettably sold it to fund something else. I should have held on to it and had the white spots removed ... Anyhow, I'm a bit nostalgic at the moment, and would love to see what pictures you have taken with that lens on an M8! Also, I'd love to see some 40/2 Rokkor pics, as I'm interested in that lens as well.

For starters, here are some pictures I took with the 28 M-Rokkor while I had it:

Even though you said you weren't so keen on the 90... here's one on M8.2 🙂

Thanks, tuanvinh2000 and randomm!

randomm -- I'm actually considering adding a 90mm to my setup, but f/4 is just too slow for my taste ... But I don't doubt the 90mm Rokkor is a great lens as well!

Anybody else using the 28 and/or 40 Rokkor on their M8? Share your pictures, please!

I travelled with the Rokkor 40mm as the main lens on my M8 for 7 months in South America. Truly loved this little guy. Most of my pics on flickr taken on the M8 are taken with this lens.

I have the CLE version. Bought a mint one from Japan. Worth every penny.

Heres a few of my faves shot with the M8 + 40mm CLE Rokkor combo.

I don't have a pic to show. I use M-Rokkor 40mm on a RD-1 and its performance is very well as described from many of the positive reviews. SHarp enough at wideopen, IQ improves a lot after 2.8 and great color. DO recommend this lens.
