Thank you everyone for the input on the 25 Biogon. How hard is corner fix to implement??
I already have a Nikon 2/24ais but was reading Steve huff's review on the 25 and it sounds really impressive!!
Xbarcelo and freziess... Thoughts on those ultra wides for the 7 also. Those shots look pretty ok to me!!!! And thank you again...

Jim, the first one is great! so you did get your Leica Summaron? I'd like to hear your opinion about it to see if it match my experience with 35cron V1.

Yes i did.My first Leica Lens.With what little i have shot with it, it is indeed a nice lens.It looks great on my NEX 7 and it is pocketable ( if wearing cargo shorts or something similar) All the shots above were shot wide open @ 2.8 and they are very sharp.The files respond very well to PP.I think that i am going to Leic it

Wow, thanks so much everyone!
Mawz, maligned or not, I really like the photo.
Frezeiss, great pic! Is this colour shift, though?
alwang, as for comparisons, I suppose that the Zeiss Contax 18 you don't need to do much to. It's great OFC, but it's a little big. The G 21 suffers from colour shift, but it's got a fantastic centre and, as you can see, it has some nice 3D. The CV 15 it's good, but it's good a lot of vigneting and it needs some contrast boost. But definitely has its place in my bag, alongside with the CV 12, which I tend to prefer.
zhangyue, I like your golden hair photo!
freaklikeme, the first one is, but not the others. I took them in a short visit to Madeira. Very nice place, by the way!
Jim, thanks! I like your first two shots also.. the ZM 25 was paired with the 5N, and this lens was the reason I didn't have the NEX 7. I don't think this lens is for you if you have a NEX 7.
Xavi, it was more of my processing or the actual colors at that time. It doesnt have noticeable color issues on the 5N

Welcome to the steep and slippery slope. Hold on to your wallet.
Thanks Jim, I've always like the ZM 25, as much as my ZF 21 on FF camera. I feel I need to buy an M camera at some point to see this lens performance at full force.
A lens that is in the same class is the 24 Elmar (albeit a little slow).
