I have zoom lenses, and the wonderful 60 and 100mm apo macros. My low light pictures are taken with the Noctilux and an M6. But I am beginning to feel the pinch for a lens with a maximum aperture greater than 2.8. Does anyone out there use a 50mm Summicron R lens all that often? It would be the cheapest way to get into a low light lens for the R system. It just seems hard to go back to a 50mm when you can use zooms and other specialty lenses but all with a smaller maximum aperture. Thanks, Richard - --------------------- Richard Clompus, OD West Chester, PA, USA
