The .58 is THE body for the 28 - it gives you a bit of air around the frame lines; not much, but just a bit - it's pretty similar to the 35 in the .72. And the 35 on the .58 is a joy, because there is some real space around the 35 mm framelines, giving you a much better idea of what's in and what's out.....The .72 is the idea body for any lens below 50 mm - and is actually pretty good for a 50.

On a .72, the 28mm farme already fills the viewfinder. Or perhaps a .58 viewfinder does not have 28mm frame lines ? - Phong _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
