I have a 28mm Ultron which is the "normal" lens at 56,mm. The camera comes with a 28-90 (effective) zoom for the short end and I have a 40mm Rokkor from my CLE which is a medium, as is the 50mm Summicron. My 100mm Canon screw mount with an adapter is now a 200mm f2. As to what lenses work, as far as I can see any M lens that I have appears to work, be it screw mount (with adapter) or direct M mount. Because of the sensor placement, however, the lenses cannot collapse. I also understand from the Camera Quest site, that certain older Leica lenses that have elements that are deeply set cannor be used because of the sensor. I don't have any of these. I feel that sooner orr later Leica will have to come out with something to compete with this outfit. The LVF (EVF) is excellent as when the lens is stopped down, it increases in brightness. All in all its just what I was waiting for. AFFORDABLE!!! vroger
