Ceder, Gary and Tophoto - Thanks for the suggestions and comments, the link doesn't seem to work for me, I'll try again later today though. Going mainly on business, but was thinking of shooting only with the M240 so should be fun

I'm a 35mm guy but I've succumbed to so many 50mm lenses. Theres so many flavours you can get in that focal length its hard to pick one. I recently picked up a cron DR from Charles and its been an absolute joy to use. The close focusing ability makes it a huge plus for an everyday lens.
Anyway I did a test this morning to demonstrate the different renderings from each lenses. I think its pretty obvious which lenses is which and thats what makes the world of 50mm so great, the renderings are unique and recognizable. The lenses in the pool are summilux asph, summicron v4, summicron rigid DR, summarit f/1.5, noctilux v4. Note the difference in colour rendition too, these have a slight contrast adjustment but the WB and colours are SOOC. They are all shot wide open.

I don't think you can, as far as I know you can only share stuff from your Dropbox via personal mail invitations. Flickr is a free option that many around here uses if you need something else.

Allen, beautiful street photography! Both sets are very powerful!
Gary, last 2 shots are really amazing!
Joakim, indeed the 24 lux looks like a great lens (and large, and expensive) I too prefer the 1st shot.
Zhangyue, welcome back! Typical Zhangyue colors and PP
Really like 3, 4 and 6.
Rirakuma, thank you for the lens compariosn. Very interesting indeed. But since I don't own any, it's difficult to tell which is which, though I do have an idea (but I won't tell)

Flickr is what I use. Leica Images is also excellent, and owned by a forum member.

This is also my guess. I don't have either of the Crons, but suspect the last one is the rigid due to the more muted colors that would likely be due to older lens coating tech, plus the blur circles are a bit harsher...

Hi Ceder!
Be sure to place the photo you want to share in your Dropbox Public folder;
Then just right click the file and choose "Copy Public Link";
Paste the link on the Insert Image box (the little landscape botton) and you're done!
Cheers!

Agree.
I prefer the rendering in #4.

Great pages, and interesting discussion on 35s.
I have 3 CV 35s, 1.2, 1.4, 2.5. At first I thought to leave it. But, like Ron, I'm finding 35mm a crucial FL on Full Frame.
The two lenses I'm looking closest at are: zm35/2.8 and the cron asph. The FLE I see going for around 4500, and that seems over the top to me, but I don't doubt it's the very best.
But the zm or cron would be fine for me. Zm obviously way cheaper, going for around 620ish, while cron a full stop faster and those I see for 2100.
hmmm.
Meanwhile, it's getting green fast

uhoh7 - Skip the cron-asph in favour of either 35mm ZM lens. Cheaper, and on par if not better in some ways. Both the 35Lux-asph and FLE are fantastic though!
KatieInTexas - I have tons of 50mm lenses, and for a while I was really using the 50APO, but lately I've just had this urge to shoot with the 50Lux-asph, and I must say the few days I've shot casually with it, I feel I do miss using it. It's definitely not the odd man out in-between my 50APO and 50/0.95. Actually all the 50s I own render SOOO differently, as rirakuma pointed out, that I'd probably not sell any of em.

While I agree both ZM's are on par with the cron asph on image quality. I found the cron asph to have some strong advantages over both ZM's. Thats why I sold my ZM's a couple of years ago for the cron.
First the size, The cron is as small as the 2.8 ZM while being as fast as the 2.0 ZM. It might be even smaller and has a more compact hood than both ZM's.
Filtersize is the leica standard 39mm which makes sharing between lenses easy.
Build, my ZM's had very good build, but the leica feels like its in another league.
Leica colors, Its a personal thing but I prefer them.
6 bit coding, Great not to have to pick the right profile all the time..
Nevertheless, how much I like the ZM and leica 35/2's. I alway grab the 28 cron. So my cron is going on sale.

I really like my 35cron asph although it doesn't really seem to have a strong following for some reason. It's rendering can be a little "sterile" but pretty smooth bokeh wide open. Stopped down, it is amazing - edge to edge. Colors are nice and it is so small too. Overall, I get such great performance from it I am very happy. ZM35C is a super lens too but I like my cron better.
