Hi, Geir. You'll get a lot of different opinions from this group, which is good, IMO. All the Summicrons are great, but they're not cheap, even the older ones can cost $500 or more. I have had good experience with my 35mm f/2.5 CV "Classic", which sells new for $229 at this site: http://www.cameraquest.com/inventor.htm. There are other CV options but this is the only one I've tried. Just be sure if you buy a screwmount version that you also get the correct M-adapter -- otherwise you won't be able to use it on your M4-2. The older screwmount Canon and Nikkors can also be great. I use the Nikkor 50mm 1.4 and Canon 28mm 2.8 along with my Summicrons and Elmars. I like them all. Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr. SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085 714-908-7846 (fax) pswango@att.net
