When I finally found a 'Flex so cheapo I couldn't resist it, I figured the lenses to get were those which either weren't available, or didn't make sense on the M system. So I got me a 15mm/3.5 Super Takumar that someone had had converted to R mount (cheap 'cos it was non standard), a 60mm Macro (going cheap with a little fungus), and a 400mm/6.3 Telyt which had sufferred a blow (cheap again). I'll also consider a PC lens as and when I see one at a bargain price. Oh, there's also a zoom lens from Sigma, though I hardly ever put that on...

Hi there. I'm looking for a great all around lens for my R4s. I use an M6 and have an R4s that I need a lens for. I've never been the biggest fan of the 50mm, so I'm looking on some advice for a great, sharp lens that I can find that won't cost me an arm and a leg. After seeing some posts on the LUG, I've taken notice to the 135 f2.8 and the prices have been great...around $375.00. Now, the '90's are a bit more. I like to shoot mostly man-on-the-street stuff. Let me know some recommendations. There's a camera show Sunday and I'd love to go hunting. Thanks Gabe
