Zeiss Biogon T* 28mm f2.8 ZM lens

Just bought one off Ebay - (in readiness for my used M8 or new M9 - wishful thinking!!!!)

I have read good reports versus the Leica offerings and therefore anxious to try it out

Anyone got one and used it on their M43

Great to see a few images and have opinions

Cheers

I was looking at these the other day for my E-P2, and apparently you'll need to take a hacksaw to it to make it fit the adaptor on :43: ...

EDIT oops it seems that's wrong -- the Metabones is supposed to be ok without sawing bits off the lens

I'm intrigued though Bill that as you have a camera, and a metabones adapter, and now the lens, why you need to get opinions and images from others? Why not just mount the lens and start snapping?

It is not the G lens but the M Leica fitting Zeiss - I have a G lens with a Metabones adapter

The 28mm Zeiss M has not yet arrived and I will not have it for a month until I visit the UK - I have all the stuff that I buy in the UK delivered to my daughter in the UK

I am interest in opinions from people who have used the lens - on both M43 and Leica M8/M9

(PS - The Metabones adapter is a big chunk of metal - I think that I posted a few comments the other day - plus I have posted a few images
- it is OK - OK to focus - but focuses past infinity and I cannot use it with my Arca Swiss Ball head as the adapter "fouls" the fitting plate)

ah yes .. your post clearly says "ZM" ... and I'm not paying attention properly ... sorry Bill to waste your time!
