Definitely consider the Voigtl?nder lenses. I picked up a body and a
35/2.5 Color-Skopar for a song. It was just sitting in a shop, all
deserted.

I have a 35/2.0 Summicron too (Canadian, no idea what generation it
is). Believe me, the 35/2.5 Color-Skopar is good and is right up there
with it. It lacks a stop, but with modern films, you can get by. I
can. Save your money for something else.
