The one I've been looking at is complete with a 50mm Summicron. However, as my old photography course leader pointed out to me, I might find the 35mm Summicron more useful as a standard lens. He even offered to loan me his and a 28mm to see if I would find them more useful. Whats your opinion on this?, another friend of mine says that a 35mm was what Cartier Bresson always used, but to be honest I thought he'd always used a 50mm, not that it matters...but it would be interesting to find out. Idealy it would be nice to have both or a zoom lens, but cost at the moment prohibits it. You see... I havent even bought the camera yet and I already need an extra lens! Better get saving them pennys...and it'll take a few pennys I can tell ya! Regards Edd
