[Leica] Ted's park bench advice

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

I was very excited about that camera when it came out.
Hasselblad has always been on the top of my list and that would have been my
35mm Hasselblad.
And with real Zeiss glass for a similar fingerprint to my medium format
stuff. Matching even.
The Big Z.

Gaudi's layout and the stuff he says is pretty good
http://www.cameraquest.com/rol3003.htm

"15/3.5 Distagon, 16/2.8 Distagon,  18/4 Distagon, 25/2.8 Distagon, 35/1.4
Distagon, 35/2.8 Distagon, 50/1.8 Planar, 50/1.4 Planar, 60/2.8
Makro-Planar, 85/1.4 Planar, 135/2.8 Sonnar, 200/4 Tele-Tessar, 500/4.5
Mirotar, 1000/5.6 Mirotar, 1000/8 Tele-Tessar. "

The bottom line for me is always the glass.
