Its my favorite lens. On my camera the most. Mines the C lens for the Leica or Minolta CL the Summicron which I use on my "classic" as the cam doesn't not work with my newer TTL. But there are other options. The Rollei was selling at B&H for a deal last I looked. Same as on the Rollei 35 made in the day. And there's a high spend easy to grab version from Cosina as a CV Voigtl?nder lens. Second choice for me to tell you to get would be a Schneider Super Angulon 3.4 21mm. You'd need to use a hand meter. But the lens is ultra compact. And historical. It makes a super kinda image. If I was you that's what I'd get. I'm not though so it gets confusing. Here's a shot of the f4 which you could also get... Instead. http://www.lucadicecco.com/watch/sm2.jpg Side view. http://www.lucadicecco.com/watch/sm1.jpg Not too amazingly gorgeous.
