I owned a Leica M9 a few years ago and ever since regretted selling it and the three lenses I had.
I'm (gulp) 50 this year and wanted to get something a bit special for my Birthday. I have just ordered a Leica M-E (240) and looking for a lens to go with it.
My favourite focal length was always 35mm - was a goldilocks lens for me. Not too long, not too short. I could just leave it on the camera and for most instances it did the job.
I cannot stretch really to any of the Leica 35mm's and so looking for a compromise for the short to medium term.
Any thoughts on the offerings from Zeiss and Voigtlander or am I doing myself and the camera a disservice and simply pick up an older Leica 35mm?
Any thoughts welcome please.
