That's what I also read and indeed it is identical from my experience to the (also listed for sale) Leitz Elmar-C 4/90mm

Actually yes, a little bit when I got the Elmar-C but honestly could not see any big difference then as far as I remember. Strange enough I used the 4/90 CL Minolta nearly all the time (the "other" one if you know what I mean..) - just liked it more....hard to tell why. Same with the Cron and the 40mm Minolta. Using lenses still is a very subjective thing (for me) all teh MTFs etc. aside....

With the ZM Zeiss ones it is a completely different league, their resolution, contrast, acutance is that stunning that it beats the others "hands down"....

Yes I agree

Using a lens that gets the shot and is a pleasure to hold is more important.
That Minolta CLE 40 is a legend it still brings very high prices on used market
Many M8 shooters clamor for that lens as it is almost exactly a 50mm (52) on the M8's 1.3 sensor.

Looking forward to shooting the ZM 2/35 it's been on the list for a while now

Hi Klaus,

I'm guessing I am too late, but I wonder which (if any) of the lenses from the original post (or otherwise) are still available?

Best regards
