Which camera for 28 and 50mm?

[Richard G]

The Summaron-M 28/5.6 is a lovely lens! It makes any body lighter and handier. I've used it most on the M10 Monochrom, a little on the M10-R. It took a bit of work to find the proper 34mm green filter for it...

While I zone focus with it quite a bit (easy with a 28mm lens @ f/8), at close up distances (~6 feet or less) I always use the rangefinder.

I use mine almost always at f5.6 for the light fall off at both ends of the 36mm axis of the frame. It’s great for portrait orientation photographing trees, darkening the sky and moderating foreground content. Not sharp to the corners, but I think undersold by Leica in regard to how little compromise there is in its qualities compared to modern designs. I guess they had to warn customers. But after using this I hardly want the sharp high contrast of my 28 Elmarit ASPH for most shots I take.

A point & shoot w 28mm? The Ricoh GR....would fill the bill. Personally though, the lack of replacement parts for cameras w electronics, keeps me in the mechanical end of the pool & i like the clean bright unobstructed vision of an accessory viewfinder....
Realistlcally cameras aren't made w/ do-it-yourself repairs in mind. There is service available pretty much most places in the world....
