[Leica] More about the 75mm

[dorysrus at mindspring.com (Don Dory)]

Luis,
Everyone has a focal length that they naturally gravitate to.  Many
Leica shooters find the 35 just perfect.  For me, if I had to have only
one lens, it would be the 50.  For a slightly heavier kit, I could be
pretty happy with a 35-75 kit.

Unfortunately, I almost never carry a lighter kit.  If I move beyond the
50, I typically will carry a 15,21,24,50, and 75.  With an M outfit,
that is not a lot of weight.  Now a heavy outfit would add a 35, 90, and
135 with two or more bodies.  Of course that is just the tourist, walk
about kit.

For me, the 75 focal length is when I am doing portraits or will be in a
situation that I can not get close to my subject but want to isolate a
person or small group.

To Buzz Hausner and everyone

I've found very interesting your opinion about the 75mm focal, that
maybe is
not the same as the 75 Summilux, because this one has his own great
personality, and now I realise that it seems a very lovely and desirable
lens.

I would like to know your opinion and from others too about the 75mm,
this
lens is neither a 50 or 90, but I think it can replaces both, I love the
50,
and today taking pictures I was asking about the small difference with
the
50 and 75 mm, and it could be a extraordinary instrument to take a
reduced
equipment as 21-35-75, or the Tri - Elmar replacing the 35. Like this
you
have at least one high performance lens on your outfit.

This could be important to choose the 75 instead off the 1,4/50, I've
read
not excellent comments for this one; probably another superb would be
the
1,4/35.

I would like read your opinions as said for the 75, a good replacement
for
the 50 & 90?

Luis
