[Leica] Which Lens to buy for $2500

[justin at sprawl.com.au (Justin Viiret)]

Hi Geoff,

You're right -- when I bought my M9 here in Sydney not so long ago, the
dealer had just taken consignment of two 35/1.4 ASPH lenses, and they were
definitely excited to get some stock. :) I think both were spoken for
already, of course, and it's too expensive for my blood at the moment!
