Unlike most systems, the 35 F1.4 is better than the 50 1.4 and some might argue that that the 35 F2 is better than the 50 Summicron. Likewise, the 28 and 24 focal lengths are quite outstanding. Moving up from normal, I don't think anybody would argue about the stunningly good choices from the 75, 90, and 135. The way to look at a non full frame sensor is using an M3 frameline set with M2 lenses. You get the picture, the 50 frameline is using the 35, the 90 using the 50 and so forth. The real design goal should be the viewfinder, size, and handling. Speed of use should be faster if a sufficiently large buffer is installed as well as no rewinding if you use a large enough memory device.

I'm sorry about the staff cuts; but it is a good gamble and I hope that they produce something which is worthy of their M lenses. Frankly, I think a bold stroke like this is necessary, given where the camera market seems to be going. I'd happily put off purchasing a digital body for three years (or more) until such a body was available.
