But the funny thing is, the older I get, the more I have come to respect the humble - or not so humble - 50mm. It has become, for me, maybe going backwards a little, the Leica equivalent of the ubiquitous "28-80mm f1:somethingtiny" zoom lens seemingly supplied with every SLR the last ten years or so. While admitting the limitations of the walking zoom - ie stepping back or getting closer - if I'm going to grab one lens, not knowing what I will encounter, it will be a 50mm.
