What "set" of lenses would you be comfortable carrying, withouot the FL getting too close. I use the Noctilux for indoors and portraits. My "other" short tele is the 90/2.8 Skinny Tele Elmarit. An F2.8 lens gives too much DOF for my taste wide open for portraits.... The Lux is just fine there. I Never liked the 90/2 Summicron. I am a proponent of the FL doubling rule......... 15, 35, 75mm lenses are a fine set for me. The 15, 24, 50, 90 would be equally nice. But a 15, 21, 24, 28, 35, 50, 75, and 90 weighs too much and offers great variation in lenses, but IMHO takes away from the image concentration. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
