If you get the CV 25, know that some are RF coupled and others not. As you know, the CV 21/4 and CV28/3.5 are similar, very small etc. But the 28 is hard to find, however some feel it\'s the best of all the skopars.
There\'s also the zm25/2.8 and CV 28/2 or 1.9 Ultron you might consider
24SEM is to die for but running 1800 or so used.
The 28s are nice, but wondering if it might be too close to the 40. Then again, it would be like a 35/50 combo which isn\'t entirely bad... but for a two lens combo maybe too close.
Anyone know how a 21 matches up with the M8 viewfinder? The 24mm lines are a bit in so I\'d imagine the entire finder to be around 21-22mm. If that is the case then I could definitely swing a 21, otherwise I may need to stick with 24/25 since I don\'t want to use an external finder.
Will do a little reading on the 28 Skopar though, you have me intrigued...
On a different note, found an Angelo Pelle case that\'s heading this way now for half off new price, and it hasn\'t been used. They look gorgeous in pictures so will be fun to see.
I did not realize you were shooting M8, which is cool
I don\'t know about the VF lines, in M9 you can\'t see the 28 lines with glasses.
Those CV 21/4s are easy to find, and really cheap, and super tiny and light. Nothing to carry. The CV 15 could be fantastic on the M8, again some of those are coupled and some not.
The high-performance deal is zm21/2.8, which by all accounts is great lens. 900ish used.
The CV 28/2 or 1.9 Ultron would blend with 40/2 very well I think, and that is a versitile lens, indoors and out. 450ish.
The rare CV 28/3.5 would be fantastic on the M8, I\'d expect. It\'s also tiny but brass or something heavy, so it weighs more than the other skopars but still lighter than 80% of RF lenses. I found it sharper than my 28 cron on the nex-5 in some shots, but corners were showing \"digital SA\".
There a bunch of sweet 28s: all versions of elmarit--obviously they vary alot, but all are pretty sweet in their own way, M-hex, ZM28, Rokkor 28.
It seems to me 28 would be great FL on the M8, like 35mm on M9.
