I've been rationalizing my M9 outfit down to a more manageable travel outfit and have settled on 35 'lux, 50 'lux and 90 Elmarit-M. Now I just need to decide on the wide angle option. I like the idea and convenience of having 'lux's across the board and I've found an opportunity to get a 24 'lux at an almost 'reasonable' price, but before I act on it I'm curious as to other's experience with this lens on the M9.
I've been using the 24 Elmarit-M to date with the M9, and I'm happy with the focal length and distribution of lengths with my other lenses. Are there any things to watch out for with the 'lux though? Any red edge issues? Softness/corner issues which don't show up with the M8? I'm not bothered by the physical size of the lens particularly but I am curious about the 'feel' of the lens for focusing. Is the lack of a focus tab significant compared to other non-tabbed lenses such as the Noctilux etc?
