Moving from a C-V 75mm to a 75mm Summarit...?

[tomasis]

it would make the jump from the CV to the Summarit mostly a question of build quality and handling rather than image quality.

indeed!

I have hexanon 90mm. Ergonomics of this lens starts to be an annoyance for me. That can be enough good reason to switch to better lens ergonomics wise which is often Leica made. I don't really mind to have Summarit 50mm instead of Elmar M, 90mm summarit - hexanon, 75mm - cv etc. etc.

Of course, with the introduction of the C-Biogon 35/2.8 from Zeiss, I would suspect that we will see a 85f2.8 C-Sonnar soon enough ...

Dear Tom.

Possibly, but as the 85 frame on the ZI is identical with the 90 frame on one of my Leicas, a 75 is a rather different animal.

I fully second your point about the Summicron.

My own priorities, if I owned no 75, would be:

1 (if I could afford it) Summicron

2 (failing money for a Summicron) Summarit

3 (failing money for a Summarit) Voigtländer

I'd certainly upgrade from Voigtländer to Summicron like a shot, and if choosing a first 75, I'd prefer a Summarit to the Voigtländer, as indicated above; but the cost of the upgrade from Voigtländer to Summarit, if I already had the Voigtländer, would give me pause.

Cheers,

Any photos of the dogs?😀

Thank you, everyone. I think I'll sit tight and save for the Cron - I really prefer the crispness of my 35 ASPH and would like a 75 with the same.

I don't think you'll regret that decision.
