I tried one the other day as a possible cheaper and more easily attainable wide lens. I shot a couple of things with T-MAX 400 B&W and looked at it, and it seemed like a really sharp and contrasty lens. How much of the contrast was due to TMAX in Rodinal, I don't know, but I was impressed, and the price is half that of the 19/2.8-R. Any opinions? I really need help- I actually want to get a Seagull and a Lubitel for my shelf collection! ;) - -----Original Message----- From: Alfred Breull <puma@hannover.sgh-net.de> To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Date: Friday, November 28, 1997 10:31 AM Subject: Re: 21mm's >If you are happy with it, the better.
