It's finally here!
I love it, I'm so impressed with this lens. It's big, but balanced, I don't mind the size at all. The 75 is perfect with and without the crop factor (For me atleast)
After one day I'm very very very happy with it.
I don't have anymore GAS, M6+M8, 35 Biogon and 75 Lux
Edit:Here's two shots I took with it and the M8...(Posted later)

What you really want is an M5 to go with it. Have Sherry install the frameline for you.

Hah, nah, I especially don't have any M body GAS, a guy can always want new lenses, but I'm really happy with the versitile 35/75 combo.

What a crazy piece of Leica glass. I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do...congrats and enjoy your new tools/toys

Two portraits I shot with it today, nothing special...both wide open.
I love how soft it is wide open, for some people that's a complaint but I really like it.

I like the first portrait, nice ! Is the 75mm difficult to focus wide open ? Quite shallow DoF I guess ...

Yeah, it's really tricky, I need to get a magnifier for my M8.
The M6 has a .85 finder so it's not nearly as hard. The 75 framlines are so big and nice on the M6, I love it!

A 35-75 combination is indeed versatile, the one I would choose if I were starting out.

I sold my 28, a pair of 35's, some 90's, and a body to take the minimalist approach.

I finally updated it to the last piece of the puzzle! I've wanted the Lux for a good while and it was most definetly worth it.
I sold a lot of lenses that I liked for this and the soon to be mine biogon and I feel like I made the right move.

I love 35, but I think 28/75 is a better combination. 21 seems more well paired with a 35/40. That lux is sexy though. I am superbly jealous

I find a 28 just a little bit too wide for me, I had an 28/2.8 that I really loved but It was just a bit too wide.

My M5s need red dots!
Seems you're putting it to good use, together with your M8.
To be quite honest, I'm happy to see that good photos can be made with this particular focal length. I'm one of those who feel like certain lenses are second nature, and the 75mm is not one of them. To me, the best focal length is 35mm, closely followed by the 28mm. However, sometimes I like using the 50mm and only once have I longed for the one you have.
Now, aside focal length, the Summilux must be a fun lens to use! Congratulations!
