M8 with CV 25mm/4

[raid]

A few days ago, we had a beautiful sunset here in Pensacola, and I drove to the beach just before sunset started. I carried with me a Leica M9 with CV 50mm/1.1, and an M8 with a CV 25mm/4. I have already posted the images from the CV 50/1.1 at RFF, and this is about the (cropped) images from the CV 25/4. The view is similar to that from a 35mm lens. This lens is a great bargain lens. I have the basic version without RF focusing. It is small and sharp and just wonderful to use.

This is the smugmug site where the images are saved.

Love the third image! M8 with CV 25/4 seems to be a great combo

Thanks. Yes, it is a great combo.

Gorgeous shots, Raid!

Thank you. Mother Nature had a good day! Using ISO 160 on the M8 (or M9) lets me capture gorgeous colors.

Me too... the third image is lovely.

Oddly enough, I've never used a 25 Skopar on M8... and I have both the Snapshot Skopar (only used on film) and the bayonet mount Skopar (only used on M240). I've shot the 25 Biogon ZM on the M8 quite a lot though! I'll have to get a Skopar on the M8 someday soon...

Happy for you folks in that it works well. Mine seemed to be ok on film, but when digital came, decentering was obvious.

I now have an expensive paper weight. Original 12 & 15 have issues also. So 3 paper weights.

Guess if I will buy more CV products.

Odd! I bought my LTM (no RF Coupling) for $125 on Ebay about 3 years ago. It was what you can call UG at KEH. But it works so well.
