Subject: [Leica] The Perfect Outfit

Ladies and Gentlemen:

It now is time for me to seek counsel from this august group.  As I had
mentioned earlier in my R8 encomium, I am currently trying to put
together the "perfect" M and R outfits.  I currently have an M6, 35/2
Asph, 50/2, 90/2.8 Elmarit-M, an R8, 35/2, 100/2.8 APO, 180/3.4 APO, SL
with 50/2 (2 cam).  I am considering getting a wide angle and cannot
decide between the 21/2.8 Asph. for the M and the (new style) 19/2.8 for
the R.  I am also considering replacing the 35/2 R with the new
35-70/4.  For the R, I also want an 80/1.4 (I had one and foolishly sold
it), a 35/1.4 and also the new 50/1.4 (but I think I'll wait for it to
appear used).  I also eventually want a 70-180/2.8 APO and a 2X APO
converter for the R.  For the M, the 35/1.4 Asph. and the 90/2 Asph.  I
also want another M body and probably another R8 (or successor) instead
of the SL.  I would appreciate any thoughts, comments, etc.

Thanks.
