[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Erwin has a review of the new 28 at http://www.imx.nl/photosite/leica/mseries/testm/m2-28.html The .58 has 28, 35, 50, 75 and 90mm frame lines. Its main purpose is to give better eye relief for the 28 and 35 frames, to ease the suffering of glasses wearers (lower magnification means a smaller visual angle for each of the frame lines compared to the .72). The 24mm lens may be more usable without an external finder, by guesstimating the edges, but there are no super-wide frame lines.
