I had an L1 at the time, along with an M3. I had two lenses for it, the 35 f1.8, and the 50 f1.8. It didn't take long before I tossed the Canon 'system' and went back to the comfort of the Leica fold. I had a few offers to purchase a 19 over the years. Seeing the images made with the 19, it always came down to--no, thank you. That early Leica 19 can be had from $500-800, if not even cheaper. At the moment, and I'm sure with the next subsequent moments, the R line of lenses is one of the best values out there. If one is interested in taking photos that is.
