Subject: [Leica] M 35mm RF for Leica M3
>What are the drawbacks (if any) of making a 35mm RF (bug-eye) M-series lens
my second lens. I wear glasses and viewing the full 50mm frame on an M3
takes some extra effort.
>
>Most of my photography is street, travel, museum, family. For many years I
have used a M3 with 50mm Summilux along with several SLRs. I've love
operational ease of the M3 (best) and it is the camera that I choose most
readily, but must rely on my SLRs for lens versatility. However, I've always
wanted a 35mm lens for my M3, especially when traveling or exploring large
cities (densely inhabited regions).
>
>In a few weeks I'll have a renewed need for the 35mm during some buisiness
trips and travels. I have a quote I think I can live with for some 35mm RF
options.
>
>The quotes are...
>
>35mm f2 RF Summicron, Mint @ $750.
>35mm f2.8 RF Summaron, Mint- @ $450.
>35mm f2.8 RF Summaron, Exc+ @ $395.
>
>The Summicron seems out of reach but I think I can stretch (on short
notice) for the Summaron.
>
>Experience, thoughts, opinions, options, ravings, concerns, encouragements
are all welcome.
