Hi all
Im looking to acquire a wide angle lens for my M8 this year does anyone have any suggestions for any that can be bought for not too much money ( I know I know, cheap and leica are mutually exclusive)
But I have been looking at some neat vintage LTM wide angles, Canon Serenars, Nikon Nikkors , and the soviet industars and Jupiters.but are any of them decent or is it a crapshoot?. How about the older summarons or elmars ? I have a weird vintage lens fetish so that may work out to my advantage also but I am not up to speed on how they work
How are the ZM Zeiss and CV lenses? they seem a lot more affordable to me, but the main reason I bought the M8 was to have access to the leica glass , so Im not sure if I want to go that route though I have seen some great shots taken with the M9
Like I said I have some coin burning a hole in my pocket and having excess cash is a rarity now that Im on disability , so give me some ideas/sugestions etc.
Thanks in advance
