Marco: I highly recommend to you the 35mm Elmarit-R f2.8 lens. I own the second version from the late 1970s( filter size:series 7). It is an excellent lens with regard to contrast and resolution even at full aperure. The going price is about $400. Try Tamarkin in New York. Many members of the Lug prefer the Summicron or Summilux-R lenses over the Elmarit-R. Since I own both a R as well as a M system, I prefer to have the faster lenses in the M system. This choice is partly based on focusing capability, price, and weight. Good luck in your search Andrew Jordan
