I'd been working under the assumption having lenses of roughly twice the focal length of the next. But the thought of leaving a gap and changing position is workable with the benefit of expanding the range of perspective by having the wider angle of view by the 24 sounds exciting. Thanks, Tim K am I at step 2 or 3 of the addiction? - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bernard" <4829.g23@g23.relcom.ru> To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Monday, March 27, 2000 2:29 AM Subject: Re: [Leica] FS: 35mm Summicron ASPH and IIIf with Summitar "Timothy R.

From there on it's a personal matter. I would make my third lens a 24, or perhaps a 21. Then I would fill the gap and get the 50. The 50 is a very useful lens, but getting it as your second lens, after the 90, makes little sense: they are both on the long end. Bernard
