Originally posted by DragonLord A lot of Leica M-mount lenses are really expensive for what they are, even third-party lenses such as those from Cosina Voigtländer.
Really? Speaking as someone who owns an largish collection of Summicrons (I am missing out on 28mm and 75mm but have everything else) plus a good selection of CV (15mm, 28mm f2, 35mm f1.2, 50mm f1.1, 75mm f2) I find them good value for money.
Fact is, good glass from any manufacturer will be expensive. I like the M mount glasses because the price/performance is quite good, and they are smaller and lighter because they don't have AF, which I don't need for the kind of shots that I take with them.
Our local Leica dealer was offering 10% all Leica a few weeks ago and I was sorely tempted but I have just bought about $5k worth of FE lenses and I decided maybe another day.
