There is a school of thought that says "never sell a leica lens"! Well that's fine if one has lots of available cash to simply acquire yet more lenses which one possibly will only use intermittently.
So although I found the APO-Summicron 75mm a superb lens, on the M8.2 it's field of view was pretty close to the 50mm. As it was also a fairly heavy lens to cart around I decided that it had to go - and so it went back to Red Dot Cameras.
I bought instead a Zeiss ZM Biogon 28mm f2.8 - a lens that I have used before and one that has a rendering that I like very much. Results so far are really good.
I am considering re-acquiring a Voigtlander 35mm f1.2 ASPH - huge and heavy I know but for certain uses ....... !
