Hi!

Im going for a trip to southeast asia for 5 months on October, so I'm looking for a nice wide-angle for the trip.

The options would be:

Nikon 28mm f1.4 AF
Nikon 35mm f1.4 MF
Leica R 35mm f2 MF
Leica R 35 Summilux f1.4 MF
Zeiss 35mm ZF f2

If you can think of something else that would meet the requirements plz dont hesitate to recommend something.
I really dont care if the lense appears to be run over by a car, as long as the lenses are in decent condition. It'll get scuffs on the trip anyway so...


And yeah, If someone would have a Tamron adaptall 90mm Macro lying around, I would like to buy one of those too.

Preferably inside the EU, but we can try to hassle otherwise too.


And just if someone is interested, this is the set I plan to take with me (partly a work gig so thats why so much stuff).

Nikon d700 and FE-2
Nikon 14-24mm f2.8 AF
Sigma 28mm f1.8 AF (unless I find something nicer)
Nikon 50mm f1.8 AF or MF
90mm or 105mm Macro MF
Nikon 135mm f2 DC AF
Teleconverter 2x

Leica R will not work on your Nik without a glass adapter.
May as well use Sigma.

Isn't there a way to replace the mount of an Leica lens with a Nikon-F-mount?

Leica R works fine on Nikon F-mount and there is no need for glass adapter to achieve infinity focus. Fully reversible modification of lens mount. DIY or send in your lens, see http://www.leitax.com/leica-lens-for-nikon-cameras.html for more information.

Yeah, I've converted already the 50mm summilux and 19mm elmarit for use on nikon, both work great! Smile
