I'd suggest getting the 35 summicron, last version before the ASPH. If you cannot afford it now, save up until you can. In the long run, you'll be happier that you did. The 35 works very well for "grab" snapshots, either sighted or not. Without the hood it is makes an extremely compact package: with the hood the flare control is good. As you say, the M2 was "made for" the 35mm. Ultimately is of course boils down to the kind of photography you want to do: I certainly take more 35mm pictures than 90mm. M. - -- Martin Howard, Grad.
