Leica or the usual subjects can add the third cam at a very reasonable cost, in the meantime stop down metering is no big deal. Two of my favorite lenses in SLRdom are the original 50 Summicron and the first version 90 Elmarit. The 28 is mighty fine and my first version 35 Summicron is quite lovely especially from F4. I have a special place in my heart for the 180 APO but virtually any of the 180's are very nice lenses. Don't fall for the 21, find the second version of the 19 or go for the 21-35. Of course with your flower shots, the 100 APO should be on your list. Have your son chant the mantra. Scholorship, Scholorship, Grants ands internships. :) One of the commenters was correct, Leica lenses are parthenogenic. You start with one, but next time you look there is something new in the bag.
