If I had a choice of 3 I'd be 28, 35, & 75 but that another thread I'd rethink this. You've got the best body, so get the very best lens - the 28 Summicron. Forget about other lengths for a while. This new 28 is said to be the sharpest Leica has ever made. Mine stays glued to 0.58 and it's become my 'normal' lens - my 0.72 body gets either the 35/1.4 ASPH or the 21/2.8 ASPH, the 50, 90, and 135 go on the 0.85, but get little use. If I had only 1 body and 1 lens it would be the 0.58 with the new 28, no question. Load me up with HP5+ and I could shoot nothing but this outfit for a year :) YMMV Gilbert - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
