Most handsome M lens

[macmx]

Which lens do you think looks best on your Leica M?

I think the current 50mm Summilux ASPH looks the best. The design is really nice and symmetrical and has a nice size/weight.

Mine is an M3, so I think the old 50mm Summicron suits it best:

The 1969 50 Summicron with the wide vented hood. Love it, especially on an M5.

Late black chrome 35/1.4 pre-ASPH, or the black chrome 50/1.4 ASPH would get my vote. But I'm a user not a fondler.

Are you people serious?

Yes. Yes they are.

Which lens goes best with a Louis Vuitton overnight bag and a Hermes scarf?

Well it sure as heck ain't the 28/2.8 V2.

Well it sure as heck ain't the 28/2.8 V2.

Haha, that's the lens that I would have voted for. I can't afford to think that the 28mm Summicron is handsome. You have the Summicron ASPH right?

damn tootin'.

my vote goes for the 24mm summilux asph. that hood is too cool. actually, every new lens starting with the summarits has had a nifty hood.

The 35mm ASPH Sumicron sold with the Hermes Edition MP of course! Or was it the Louis Vuitton Henri Cartier Bresson Edition? Who says you can't have it all?

Guys,

Take a Cold Shower!

Either DR Summicron or original 90mm Summicron. Runner-up Tele-Elmar with yellow fill and scalloped focus ring. I like the aesthetics of the scalloped rings... 😎

I think the current 50mm Summilux ASPH looks the best.

But how does it "feel"?

Does it feel good in the hand?

Try an MP mit the Noctilux (any version). F/1.0 all the way.

Depends on whose hand doesn't it?

 

[wontonny]

I like the 35 summilux asph on any black M body

 

[Rayt]

The best looking M lens has to be the 1st version 28mm Elmarit with its hour glass shape. Hotter than Bugs Bunny in drag. I guess we have officially run out of things to talk about..

Hotter than Bugs Bunny in drag..

😱...Very FUNNY Visual...🙂

A black paint Angenieux 90mm f/1.8 looks a lot cooler than any other 90. Faster too!
