I've been a lurker for a little over a month, and am very much enjoying these spirited exchanges. I became a Leica owner when an entirely undeserved M6 TTL was dropped into my lap by my late father-in-law. My camera prior to this was a Kodak point and shoot. Obviously, it is not a just or fair universe in which we live. However, I am reading voraciously, attending photography classes, and following the LUG and various online resources to try to become worthy of this magnificent feat of engineering. The camera came with a 50 mm collapsible Summitar that I have been very happy using. However, I'd like to acquire a longer focal length lens to take family photos; everyone here is aggravated by my constant intrusion into personal space to properly frame my photos, and my year old daughter tries to poke the lens. Right now, Leica lenses seem beyond my price range, particularly new ones. I've seen some nice photos done with Zeiss lenses. Can they be adapted to the Leica? If so, where would one find an adapter? Other recommended lens and how to adapt them? I've searched the LUG archives and done online searches vainly trying to find enough information, and camera shops online don't provide this sort of information. I'm a babe in the woods here; any guidance members of the LUG can provide would be much appreciated.
