[Leica] lens choice?

[leica at web-options.com (Bob W)]

On my M8 I would use the 35/1.4; on my film Ms I would use a 50/1.4. I spent
the last weekend in Lyon in France, and used almost exclusively the 35/1.4
on my M8. Some shots here, with more to follow:

However, you'd have to hold a gun to my head to make me choose. The lenses
are so small it hardly matters if you carry one or 2.
