Hi Harvey, thanks-you for your words.
Lucky you with all that new equipment! ;-) 
I had a great difficulty choosing between the 28mm and theTri-elmar 
28-35-50, but finely the 50mm is really not my favorite focal, so I 
bought the colapsible Elmar 2.8/50 just to use in case (very funny 
lense). One day if I make money I will buy a 35mm with a large 
apperture (I have no lense under 2.8 except the 90/2.0)
Things started quite roughly with the Leica system, but now I am 
really enjoying them, especially when I hear the sound or should I say 
no sound, of the shutter (when compared with my Nikon or Hasselblad 
and its Diesel motor...).
I wish you a lot of pleasure with your new Leica.
