I've been doing my sums for the M8dig : the 50 will turn into a rather inconsequential 66.5 mm, the 75 into a very useful 100 and the 90 mm into a 120 mm which is neither here nor there and too close in effect to the 75-100 'lux to be of much use.Which would make the combo:CV 21- 35 lux asph -trielmar - lux 75 {- apo 3.4/135 } the ideal set.

I could buy an older 75 Summilux from a friend. It doesnt have the hood. How difficult would it be to find that hood? Can I use it without the hood? Can I use the 75 on an M3 body with the 90mm frame lines? I think a 75 auxillary finder might make focus even more unsteady.

So outstanding for one, and unique for the other. And if you're shooting lowlight, the double shutter speed from the lux can preserve all that optical uniqueness. 😀 Or if you're going for .7m focus, the cron can give you the extra outstanding-ness to the catchlight of the eye. 😉

Heavystar (e-bay) supplies hoods for just about anything.

That is Canon. The Digilux2 and RD1 seem to avoid a lot of that flatness - or is it the flat country I'm shooting in ? 😉

What a minute. The perspective of a full frame camera is always "flatter" than the equivalent F.L. in a crop factor camera whether your shooting in digital or film. I found that out when I started to use my RD-1 in conjunction with my R3-a . A 35mm on the 1.5x camera is roughly equivalent to a 50mm on the film camera, but after moving around to compose the foreground subject in the same way (subtend the same field angle) , the background perspective has changed considerably. Thats why all those point and shoot pictures look so wide open; its almost impossible to get a shot that looks anyother way.
And whats this business about certain focal lengths having a kind of mystic quality? Christ, tell that to the medium format guys and they could hardly take a picture. Look, focal lengths be focal lengths...thats all. Different lenses for different applications in different formats. Their is nothing sacred about any particular focal length. Sure, I have my favorites within a particular format but when I use a new format I often find I don't like the equivalent focal length as much as I did in the original format. Personally, I enjoyed moving into the 1.5 crop factor arena as it transformed my existing lens collection into a new set of tools to use and explore with.

I dunno...the 50mm seems awfully neat. 😀
