The 35 Summicron works OK but I don't use it because the 40mm that is on the camera is such a fine lens and is very close to the 35 in focal length. I don't know about the new 90 but I use the 90 Tele-Elmarit without problem and suspect the new one would be just fine. I have only played with Tom A's 15mm and that was a long time ago. (before they were available in this country) If I remember correctly, it will work just fine. You might want to drop Tom a line and see what he thinks about it. TTAbrahams@aol.com I also use on occasion a third version 28 mm. I believe the only problems with lens compatability and the CL involve some of the earlier 21's and 28's. Everything else is OK but I would double check on the 15 with Tom. The 24 will block part of the VF but you will want a separate VF in any case and all of the lenses will couple to the RF. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with. Cheers, David Medley Whidbey Is.
