I'm looking at picking up my first lenses for an M8. I have been looking at the Leica 28 2.8 Elmarit, and the Zeiss 28 2.8 planar.
Comes down to the qualities of these 2 lenses, and price. The Elmarit seems to be a very high contrast lens, having read Sean Reids review of the 28's gave me a nice feeling for the available 28's. I wanted to get others feedback on these 2 lenses, I'm tending toward the zeiss, because of cost, and because its not quite as contrasty, the bokeh seems less active and more to my liking. Anoter motivation is that I can get both a 28 and 50 zeiss for the same price as the leica. Thoughts?
