I had the opportunity to buy a 1967 Leica R, with a 2 50mm Summicron, in a flea market for 300$.I immediatly fell in love with it, and decided to complete my objectives range. In France, we have sometimes good bargains. I bought then a 2.8 90mm Elmarit, and I need short focus for architectural and general pictures. I like 24mm, and when I travel, I bring a 24mm and a 100mm. My favorite pictures are B&W, and I develop in my very old darkroom. I am an old timer photograph! 24mm may be used too for wide field astronomical pictures, for instance Milkyway and shooting stars. JMB
