they run about 300, and are not common. I had to get this from austria. It\'s very good, and for a fast SLR it\'s compact--but huge compared to the RF 28s.
My non-scientific impression is that Jim\'s suggestion is alot sharper at infinity on the n5--but this may just be my errors.
Here is a shot--I think I may have pulled up the exposure, but i think you can judge the edges and corners.
At f8 it seems pretty dang impressive in clean shooting---that sample has some noise. Obviously the footprint is fantastic, and the build is very heavy--nothing like the 21 or 35. Why it was discontinued, I can\'t say, but I think i might even be able to get 525 for this one. Was very hard to find. You don\'t see them much.
But you have to switch at night. It can\'t be your all the time normal.
now, another reason I don\'t agree with mean old denoir , is that the 28 cron is FANTASTIC on the m8. crop....crop....it\'s a crop..... yes I know it\'s 1.3
but another shooter who really impressed me before I ever thought of the leica is tightsqeez...he dunks his m9 in a pool and then takes it to afghainstan, but it\'s his shooting that sings
and declares: the 28 summicron is the best lens leica ever made! and that he\'s had most of em. I did not know he owned one--though I should have guessed.
