I'm taking possession of my new to me M8 today.
Next up, glass. Ugh.
I've read, re-read, searched, scrubbed and obsessed to find the answer. Since this is an "experiment" per se, I'm entering on a budget. So this is what I'm thinking and I'd like some input here.
I'm thinking of starting with a 40 1.4 Nokton. I know it's all subjective to the user, but I like the 50mm range. I spent the morning with the zoom on my D3 shuffling back and forth with 35, 50, 65 shots trying to see what I'd be missing.
I shoot pretty much anything. Weddings/portraits/events professionally. Travel semi-professionally (selling prints but no editorial assignments... yet). I love street for fun and I'm looking into candid based personal projects which is one of the reason I'm looking into trying an M system.
What thoughts do you folks have on the 40 as an entry lens? I wish there was an extra stop on the ZM 25, but well, there isn't and the 24-Lux is not even remotely close to an option unless the Powerball comes through for me.
Enough rambling... let me hear it!
Thanks!
