Re: FS: 35mm cron version IV !!!!

I was asked if this was German or Canadian. It is Canadian.

I have a German one that I'm thinking about selling, but aren't they the exact same lenses - apart from the place where they were made? I've owned the "Canadian" before, and I can't say I notice any differences...

Thank god somebody got this before I decided to spend yet more $.

I have a 28cron and 50lux and just wasn't using the 35 enough to justify holding on to it.

Congratulations Terry
My situation exactly, I had:
25 zeiss biogon
28 cv ultron
28 elmarit asph
35 'cron asph
50 'cron
50 zeiss sonnar

that's six lenses covering 25mm :wtf:

now it seems I'll have

25 zeiss
28 'cron
35 'cron (nobody wants it)
50 sonnar

but at least they're all lenses I really like, and it's a much more sensible spread.

I agree too --- and often, less is more. As much as I like the way the 35 ver IV renders, I prefer carrying as few lenses as possible, and find that my regular 28 and 50 pair cover about 80% of my M8 focal needs. Then my 21 and lowly old 90 TE thin covers the remaining 20% pretty well

However, I could probably be convinced to do even fewer lenses and get to the trio of 21/35/75 if pressed, and in this scenario, the 35 ver IV would become my main lens.

You are not getting it back, Jack!!!

I think the choice between a 35 cron and the 28 cron asph is a difficult one. The 35 is way smaller, same speed, great bokeh etc. The 28 cron is, by comparison, way bigger, same speed, and has a wonderfully unique drawing style. One of leica's most unique lenses to be sure. But at an almost three to one price difference the choice is still difficult.
