Hello again. Please see my previous comments below. I would love to hear your 
thoughts...

 

I also wanted to add this note: I just searched Ebay and found a 'SUMMILUX-R 
50mm 1.4 Lens R4'. Is there a later version of this lens before the current 
model (following lthe suggestions of Michiel Fokkem, i.e. buying the models 
just before the latest)?

 

Also, does anybody know of a resource on the web for establishing average used 
values for Leica lenses, so I can have an idea of how much I should bid for 
this lens -if I decide to persue it? Bidding on this lens is currently at aprox 
US$500. 

 

Thanx again!

Hi. I am a Canon digital SLR user but am interested in buying some Leica R 
lenses to use with my Canon 5D Mark II.  I like to use fast lenses and shoot a 
lot at wider apertures (f1.4- f2) to achieve a nice 'selective focus' look. I 
just purchased a Leica R to Canon EOS adaptor on Ebay. I am searching for Leica 
prime lenses (in the 28mm -100mm focal length range) that are sharp at wider 
apertures (i.e. f1.4- f2) and that have beautiful bokeh. -Got any suggestions?  
Thanks in advance! Galwaycolin. Email: galwaycolin@xxxxxxxxxxx



the Summilux 80mm  f 1.4 comes to my mind first...and welcome,  Steve
