what choice 24/25mm focal length

[Dave H]

Hi,

I'm looking for a rangefinder lens in the 24/25mm focal length, but am struggling a bit. Leica and Ziess are to expensive, and the CV25/4 for me is to just a bit to slow and why oh why isn't it RF coupled :bang: ! Canon RF lens are rare to find. Anyone got any other suggestions? I own a 35/2 but I want to try my hand at a new project I thinking of, (documentary work on the construction sites which I work on and manage, plenty of stressed out expressions and situations) which I want to do with a wide angle for the "latitude " of the WA DOF and framing, plus the close intimate shooting distances. Thought about a 21mm but similar problems plus harder to use apparently.

Ideally it should fit my M6TTL but open to suggestion.

Hi ManGo,

Thanks, I've got a 28 on my SLR and used this to make the judgement for a 24. The 28 may get pressed into service if all else fails, but the OM4ti is with, doesn't like the cold and stops working something to do with batteries! Anyway I like my RF much better. (it doesn't mind the cold).

thanks

Dave

How about a Fujifilm Natura S? It's a P&S but it has 24mm and a whooping f/1.9!

Yes its one of the best solution. Because I dont know other lens better between the Cosina and the Zeiss...

It may probably never be. I'll be ordering one through amazon japan soon and have it ship to the office of a local post office located in japan which will then redirect the parcel to Singapore. Anyone care to tag along? Estimated cost is about US$320.
