I preferred to use Nikon F3 with Nikkor 24/2.8. I had the 4th generation Elmarit-M 28mm, which I used with an M8, but eventually sold because I liked Cosina/Zeiss 21mm better. I've come to see the world in 3 focal lengths: 24mm, 50mm, and ~100mm. A SL 24-90 will just about cover it all, but I want a compact camera with a 24-28mm. I can just keep on using the Olympus. It's a good camera. And save $4000. On Thu, 6 Dec 2018 at 16:46, Mark Kronquist via LUG <lug at leica-users.org> wrote: > Why not Leica r elmarit.
