Please help me with choosing a 28mm solution!

After trying several 28mm lenses for last years I've ended up with Ricoh GR1v because I don't like the Leica M 0.72x framelines for 28mm

Its considerably easier to see the 28mm framelines in a Zeiss Ikon. Just sayin'

That's right, while I've looked through it only in shop. the Ikon's viewfinder has better coverage.

And, to save us from temptation, there is no 28mm Summilux! The Biogon 28mm should be a great choice.

The temptation is still there for other focal lengths, but it's easily conquered by stinginess.

I already have a CLE, and decided not to spend anymore money on film bodies, unless it's a fixed lens body that costs less than a similar lens bought separately (like the gr1).

................................ All that could be left is higher quality, more expensive lenses of the same focal length, so i might as well start with a Biogon. ................................

There are a number of people that believe there is no higher quality lens than a 28mm Biogon, only more expensive ones.

The CV 28mm f3.5 and the CLE makes a great combination. Very compact and that is a great lens. I know from first hand experience.

edit: I must add that the CV28 f3.5 is the optical equal of any of the others. There is a reason it has the cult status it does.
