I wear glasses and viewing the full 50mm frame on an M3 takes some extra effort. Most of my photography is street, travel, museum, family. For many years I have used a M3 with 50mm Summilux along with several SLRs. I've love operational ease of the M3 (best) and it is the camera that I choose most readily, but must rely on my SLRs for lens versatility. However, I've always wanted a 35mm lens for my M3, especially when traveling or exploring large cities (densely inhabited regions). In a few weeks I'll have a renewed need for the 35mm during some buisiness trips and travels. I have a quote I think I can live with for some 35mm RF options. The quotes are... 35mm f2 RF Summicron, Mint @ $750. 35mm f2.8 RF Summaron, Mint- @ $450. 35mm f2.8 RF Summaron, Exc+ @ $395. The Summicron seems out of reach but I think I can stretch (on short notice) for the Summaron. Experience, thoughts, opinions, options, ravings, concerns, encouragements are all welcome.
