I'll put the ZM 25 up to the Leica 28. My bet the ZM will smoke it. 🤣
I had the 28 and it is a great lens with a nice rendering but it's going to need F8 for the corners
Hi Guy,
I am still keeping my R 28mm f2.8Elmarit V2 and normally need f8 or f11 for DOF for my landscape work. By the way, I suspect that my Leica M 24mm f3.8 Elmar Asph is even better than the ZM 25 at least that is what I have heard from those using both lenses on an Leica M camera body. With a modded A7 series camera it does extemely well, though with my A7rM V3 I do need to use CornerFix for the edge and corner color and vignetting. I do not intend to part with the tiny M 24mm f3.8 Elmar Asph.
By the way, the R 28mm f2.8 V2 even holds up well at f16 when needed for DOF even into the corners as seen below in the first 2 images. The third image is with the 28mm v2.8 Elmarit V2 with a Singh-Ray Lighter Brighter Color Combo Polarizer (Warm Polarizer with Color Intensifier) at f11.
