The 50mm is a close second. My ideal combination would be a 24mm, 50mm and 85mm. The M6 is the only camera I have ever used (and loved) that required me to adjust to its limitations. As great as the 24mm Elmarit-M is, I prefer to be able to view the actual perspective through the lens with very wide angles. Last year I bought an R8 and am very happy with the 19mm, 50mm combination, but the M6/35'Lux will always have a special place in my camera bag when situations calls for it whether I am traveling with the R8 or Rollei 6008i. I prefer the 40mm Schneider and 110 Zeiss for the Rollei so there you go! Cheers! Ray
