sell or keep it?!

[jk251]

Hi

I need suggestion.

I have summaron 35/2.8(no goggle)

1. sell out and pay some money to get summicron 35 asph

2. keep summaron and buy biogon 25 or biogon-c 21

Thanks

If i were you, I'd reexamine my needs ie: 2.8 vs 2.0 & the need for a wider lens...
... look back at what you've been shooting then go from there...

Do you mean this is the non-goggled version (for M2), or that it's missing the goggles? If you have the non-goggled version, it's an excellent lens, different from the summicron asph. in its ability to render a subtle range of tonalities without the biting contrast.

I say keep it for a while and decide if you ultimately need the extra stop. Do you have photos on flickr taken w/ the lens?

i did an unscientific test of three 35mm lenses a few weks ago and the summaron was the winner by a landslide. check it out here...

I would get the 21mm and keep the 35mm. The 25mm is not wide enough 🙂

I saw some of your summaron photos on flickr. Unless you really need the extra speed, keep it! But if you decide to sell, contact me. 🙂
