I'm pretty sure I want >the 35/2 Summicron, 60/2.8 macro and the 70-210/4 Vario-Elmar--all used. For $1200 you can get an R6 in pretty decent shape from a reputable dealer on the Web. Then you get mirror prefire, which I personally find very useful in doing macro, because one often finds oneself in the 1/2 -- 1/15 sec range where mirror shock is a problem. If you can get an R7 for this price, that camera also has mirror prefire. - -P.
