The camera would be used for macro, street (I know, think M), and odd photos used to help formulate ideas for painting in oil and acrylic. I'm pretty sure I want the 35/2 Summicron, 60/2.8 macro and the 70-210/4 Vario-Elmar--all used. It's amazing how often I learn something reading LUG, usually from asides made in passing to nominal subjects. No Leicas yet. 35mm Nikon, 6x7cm Fuji, 4x5 pinhole. I'm a humble staff employee at UT-Austin. - --Alan Holloway
