I have a question, and at the risk of sounding naive, I'll ask. Does anyone
have any info on the Leica C2-Zoom? Was it Minolta made? I got one to tote
around when I didn't have the R with me. It delivers pretty good results,
though not as contrasty as the Sonnar T* on my wife's Yashica T3. I have
never seen a used one in the KEH or other catalogs, and no one here talks
about it! Sometimes I feel like it might be the "red-headed stepchild" of
the Leica Family!
Also, I was contemplating a wider lens (R type)  than the 35/2.8 I have;
specifically for interiors and buildings. I have seen the 28mm PC-Super
Angulon-R and the 19mm -R, both used and in great condition, and at about
the same price... I am leaning toward the 19mm, but wonder if the 28
wouldn't be more 'practical' ( read- used more!)
Thanks
