The APO 100 mm is a _good_ piece of glass, the price seems OK for me (US Leica friends can tell more about that). The 1.4/35 R is said to be the best R 35 mm lens available "simply over the counter". The only part of the deal I would be cautious about is to be sure to get full guarantee for the R8 body. The shutter is _really_ fast - and i doubt whether it will break too early? (Well, certainly this is Leica made and Leica makes tools to last for ever, I'm simply curious about that point).
