...But keep in mind that if you are going to be working in any vaguely low
light an f4 lens is not only limited in terms of shooting, it will make
focusing difficult.

Victor,

The simple answer is that it is unlikely that any Leica R lens will not
satisfy you, or produce excellent results.  You just need to know the
characteristics and limits of each lens.

You should favorably consider the 35-70 f/4.  If you want to stick with
fixed focal length, the relatively inexpensive 50mm Summicron-R is
magnificent, and the newest 50mm Summilux-R is reportedly superb.

Regards,
Bob Rose
