[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Dear LUGgers I'm interested in the Leica 24/2.8 Elmarit-R lens for using on a dslr with crop-factor. I have read there are three types: - Type 1 (1974-90) 2 or 3 cams - Type 2 (1990-) 3 cams - Type 3 (1998-) ROM My questions are: - How does this lens perform? Are there optical differences between the three types? - As the lens would be used manually with an adapter, am I right supposing it does not matter if there are 1, 2 or 3 cams or ROM? - has anyone ever compared this lens to a manual focus Nikkor 24/2.8 or 24/2.0? Any advice is appreciated. TIA. Didier
