I finally decided on the 35 f2 Summicron (latest version) which suits my style of photography perfectly. Before you buy, I'd recommend you look in the BOOKMARKS section at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/leicam6 where you'll find a folder entitled "Dealers From Around The World". I'd strongly recommend contacting one of the guys in Hong Kong, who have been recommended and placed there by members that have bought from them in the past. I saved myself a fortune by buying my M6 and lens from a seller called Poon Lok. (I paid around 60% of what I would here in Europe..) Hope this helps, Duncan http://www.leica-gallery.net/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/leicam6 I just yesterday purchased a Classic M6 body from Richard Tillis at Woodmere Camera. It should arrive toward the end of this week or early next. I'm on a tight budget and am now searching for a first lens. I need a good value, but not state-of-the-art-optics. Thread mount is OK, non-Leica is OK. My favorite cameras to date are my Canonet g3 ql17 with a 40mm and my Rollie 35SE also with a 40mm. I'd be very happy with a 35mm or even a 28mm. But a 50mm would be OK if it were the "best value." My requirements are that the lens sync up with the body, meaning the framelines come up correctly and the rangefinder is fully and accurately coupled and the optics and mechanical aspects are perfect. Cosmetics secondary. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jeff __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo! Shopping and Yahoo! Auctions for all of your unique holiday gifts!
