I'd like one for the M3. The 50 asph focuses down a bit below .7 m and of course the floating element makes for really good quality even up close, plus no focus shift which is a boon. I'm finding that I use it up close a lot, even asa shoert head and shoulders type lens. If I get lucky and win lotto I'd like its 75 brother as well!

Actually it's ONLY good for close-ups on the M8. All the best from the south of France!
