I'm going to wait for the Summicron. As you say, when you need the extra stop, it really can come in handy. Of course, in the interest of full disclosure, I don't need the lens until June. Still... Anywway, I think buying the 28mm Canon FD for your AE1 Program as a stopgap measure sounds like a great idea. And, after you see the results, you can let me know how it performed... I also has an AE1 Program which belonged to my father. It's in the shop right now having the rubber seal around the mirror replaced to eliminate light leaks (never happened on one of my Leicas). Then, I plan to give it to my 15 year old son. Good shooting. Brian
