Makes good shots for panoramas when you crop out the top and bottom. CV 15mm Excellent all-rounder (a standard lens for me - I like it wide), really tiny lens CV 25 mm Very useful snapshot lens, set deired DOF and use it on automatic on a CLE, great for streets and architecture. CV 50/1.5 Can't say that I've used it much, but I seem to remember it was very sharp - paint finish is not good CV 75mm Excellent low-end telephoto lens - paint finish is even worse. At least there's nice brass underneath) Canon 50/1.4 Very good standard lens for low-light - had a 50/1.2 that went mouldy, the 1.4 is considerably better anyway. Canon 85/1.9 Good lens, prone to flare, nice brass and chrome, too heavy Canon 135/3.5 Good, also prone to flare, nice brass and chrome, also too heavy M-Mount Minolta 28/2.8 (CLE) Excellent wide angle, very compact, very light - shade tends to fall off Minolta 40/2 (CLE) Can't really remember ever having used it. Minolta 90/4 (CLE) Excellent lens, a bit dim, nice and compact, probably Leica built Cheers Douglas Greg Lorenzo wrote: > I've finally cataloged my motley collection of Leica and > non-Leica-for-Leica lenses.
