Hello Guys!
I just got into RF with an M6, and planning to get an M9 or its successor as soon as my wallet condition allows. I will start with a ZM only line up because I really like the way they draw, and they are much cheaper too.
I already ordered the Planar 50 and Tele Tessar 85, but I am facing a small dilemma for my wide line up. I am considering either the 18/4, 25/2.8, 35/2 or the 21/2.8, 28/2.8.
I would actually prefer the second option, but I have some reservations about the 28. Its MTF are not exactly stellar and it doesn't seem to work well with digital sensors according to some owners. It also seems to have a very strong field curvature. Someone on other forums advised me against the 25 despite its optical perfection because the rendering is flat and uninteresting.
On the other hand, the 18, 21 and 35 all seem to be excellent in sharpness and pop/3D.
What do you guys think? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance
Edward
