That's why I had to think long and hard the past 2 months, and I have decided to go with the R system again, once and for all. As you know I already have the 100 and 180 APO lenses. I will be getting an R8 again and I was thinking of getting the 35/1.4 or the 50/2 to start to fill in my wide-angles.......which would you go with as a first complement to the 100 and 180?
