I'd be interested in your experience of the 75mm. Hi Matt, You will enjoy the 24mm. Parallax! with this lens can be severe as my previous experience shows. This lens is super - or should I say my photographs taken with this lens are super. I recently did an enlargement to nine feet by five feet (cropped too) from a slide shot with this lens, and detail was good. I'm just thinking now that the 24mm viewfinder is removable so can be removed and placed at exactly the same point that the lens will be at - for tripod use. I use the viewfinder on it's own to scope scenes before setting my tripod/camera in place. It's handy for pre-shoot decisions, just walk about with it up to my eye until I reach the right spot. The 75mm Summilux f1.4 is also super. Even with the lens hood extended it does not enter the 75mm frame in the viewfinder. Used with the M6 ttl the camera is nicely balanced. I read somewhere that the focus ring can be heavy but mine focuses very easily. Quality goes without saying even at f1.4 I had been using Canon Eos 85mm f1.4 and the Summilux beats it by miles.
