Francesco: If you consider the R series, one of the two must-have lenses should be the Elmarit-R 19mm f/2.8. It is a lens which I have used for about a month now with stunning results. Tack sharp and incredible perspective. The Summicron-R 50mm f/2.0 is also an excellent performer, better than the equivalent Nikons at large apertures. And the Elmarit-R 28mm f/2.8 is very good as well, the only trouble is that it is sometimes difficult to focus because there is not much way on the focusing ring between 5m and infinity. These three lenses are top performers IMHO. Enjoy your holiday in France!
