OTOH, I figure that a nice LTM camera with a 35/3.5 Elmar mounted is even smaller and neater. Besides, I for one rather like the look of the older lenses. The trend, even in Leica, seems to be towards bigger. The 35/2 APSH is larger than the 25/3. The 35/1.4 ASPH is larger than the 35/1.4. The 21/2.8 (all versions) are larger than the 21/3.4. The M6TTL is larger than the M6. Bad trend, if you ask me. M. - -- Martin Howard, Grad.
