Hi,
I am searching for a nice standard Prime for my new Leica M8. I know, the Leica pendants are the best you can get for money, but I am looking for a fast 35mm or 50mm Prime which I can afford. At the moment, I use the M8 with a borrowed Leica 35mm Canada Summicron, - a nice lens, but not as fast as I want. I am able to spend sth. around 1000 dollar (800€) for the prime. At the moment my favourite is the Voigtländer Nokton 50mm 1.1, but I am worried about the focusing issue, is it easy to focus such a fast 50mm at the crop-M8? My second favourite is the Voigtländer 35mm 1.4, - its quite cheap, but many people say that it produces very soft images at 1.4. Whats your opinion? Which prime should I choose?
