Thomas, I think I can safely say that a mid-range fast zoom is the primary tool for most professionals who use 35mm. I can do 80-90% of my work with that one lens alone. If you think it is big, take a hold of the Canon 28-70. Now is Leica offers a 20-35, they have all the tools quick moving pros need, especially photojournalists. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
