How big is the Zm 50 1.5??

[bene123]

I have the Leica 50 2.5 and VC 50 1.1
I love the leica very much esp at F8
but need the low light power but the VC is too big.

Can anyone comment on the Zm size and handling. I consider the 50 1.4 asph too big if that helps

It's smaller than the 50mm/f1.4 at the least, without filter. It's shorter than the ZM Planar 50mm/f2.

I would say that it's one of the most compact lenses I have used.

and very good optically too. just be sure which aperture you want it to be optimized. there is some learning curve to this lens

Here is my Sonnar 501.5 on my former M6TTL, as you can see, it is pretty small.
