I seriously found my dream lens.

Holy smokes.

I have a Voigtlander 35mm Classic SC which is very nice and I've had a 15mm heliar and a 21mm Elmarit but I just took delivery of my 28mm Elmarit-M ASPH and holy crap!

I found the lens that will be glued to my R-D1x forever!

wow.

I love the FOV and it's sharp and saturated.

Congrats!

Some of my best shots with the RD came from an old Elmarit-M V3!

Loved the 43mm rough equiv. for everyday snapping, but found I've grown to like the tighter perspective of a 50mm on crop.

Well..I've got a Jupiter-8 in my bag if that becomes necessary!

I will certainly do that.

Is anyone getting notification emails from RFF? I'm not.

Congrats! When I had my RD-1, I felt the same way about the CV 35/1.2.

 

[rbelyell]

good for you. my everyday go to is your 21mm elmarit. but for portraits, my summarit 75 is tough to beat.

Photos or it didn't happen

Here's my favourite photo taken with an R-D1x and 28mm Elmarit ASPH.

I love the M-Rokkor 28/2.8 on the R-D1; had an Elmarit-M aspherical, but didn't love it $1000 more. ;-)

I know that image, I've been surfing R-D1 + 28mm elmarit images for two days!

Very nice stuff.

Sorry, I haven't been out of the house; I've been working from home since yesterday so pickings are slim on photos.

Here is one from this morning using the Canon Auto-up (which fits perfectly on the lens)

28 2.8 ASPH is a gem of a lens for digital, full or crop.

Always liked a 28 on the RD1. Sold my RD1 here some time ago. One arrived in our shop today, not in as nice shape as the one I sold but I'm really tempted. Then I'd need a 28 all over again.

Go for it!!
