I would agree the 100 apo macro: stunning lens, I would add the 180 f2: the images from that blow me away. My 280 apo 2.8 does not give me the same joy, and so I more often use the 180 and the 2x converter. If you are using zooms the Leica versions: 21/35, 28/90 and 70/180 I have all perform beautifully. I like my 15 super elmar, but the wides on the m9 work better now I think. Cheers Alastair _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
