Two weeks ago I had the chance to shoot the three Leica 28mm lenses simultaneously. I carried the 28 Elmarit, Summicron and Summlilux in my bag for a week. With the Elmarit I’m pretty familiar, because I have this lens in my kit for a number of years now. I bought it to see if […]

Six reasons why you need a 28mm lens for your Leica
As you know I shoot most of my wedding work with a 35 and 50. These lenses just work for me and I am used to the way they render a scene. A few years ago I added the tiny 28 Elmarit for two reasons. First, I wanted a slightly wider lens for group portraits. […]
