But I do like the 25mm better, for a variety of reasons: - I actually find the slightly shorter focal length more useful - under difficult lighting conditions (e.g. light sources in the frame) there is less chance of flare - I like the idea of supporting Leica in the direction which I believe is ultimately its future (i.e. concentrating on leveraging its optical expertise by making lenses for others) - an irrational desire to use a lens with LEICA written on the barrel :-) Cheers, Nathan On 6-jun-2008, at 7:39, Philippe AMARD wrote: > Does it make a bit difference? apart from the 10mm - I mean does in > really show in the results? > thanks > phx > > > Nathan wrote: > >> Yes, it is the 1.4/30mm Sigma.
