Questions & Answers

THOMAS S : can this lens be used on a full frame camera like a Sony Alpha a7?NURI D : I bought it for my Leica TL. It fits well.RICHARD S : use lens with full frame leica m9. very sharp - no corner distortions - negative it that it is only f4
Shopper : Does this perform the same way with a Leica M8.2? A little wider than a Leica 90mm?STEVEN K : Yes, it will be slightly wider view than a 90mm M mount lens on any Leica camera. The field of view is in between that of a a 75mm and a 90mm lens, so the 90mm frameline shows less than what you will capture. With practice you get used to this.

Good looks

I haven’t had the opportunity to use the lens yet. I can only review the look and feel of it. The lens is beautiful and elegant. Is small for a tele. It feels well made an solid. The only thing is the lens cap, is so cheap! It snaps off. Such a wonderful piece of glass deserves better.
