I hope to try it on an M8 at some point. My experience with it has been shooting Velvia 100F and only a little b&w. I consider it gives superbly sharp and saturated images. If I was shopping now, I'd certainly look at the 2.8 28 asph which has since been released. I have no personal experience with the earlier (non-asph) Elmarit. We have seen some superb results from them on the list. I would never part with my current lens though.

It might be worth a look in the archives? I haven't tried any of the Leica 35's although I am aiming to get the 2.0 35 asph, when I can. I currently have a Voigtlander Skopar 35 which is good value for money but not comparable.

Any with the f2.0 ASPH 28mm? Hmmm. Debating between getting a 35 vs 28. Not easy to choose. The 28mm f2 ASPH seems hard to find.

Any with the f2.0 ASPH 28mm? Hi Vick, I know that Hoppy has that lens and just loves it. My son has it as well and uses it all the time. I use the 28mm Elmarit, non-Asph. I love the perspective it gives me. It's also a very sharp lens. I don't know about the new one.
