[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just picked up a Leicaflex SL and 50/2 Summicron. I held off buying a Leica SLR for years, since I already have a fairly extensive Contax SLR system. I finally ran across a Leicaflex SL -- priced low and in excellent working condition -- that was just too tempting to ignore. The Summicron is a bit newer (mid-80's with 55mm front filter.) I want to get one wide and one tele to add to the system. I'm looking for input on which lens to look for between a 19, 24 or 28 in wide and something between a 90 and 180 in tele, something preferably with close focus capability. I'd appreciate input on vintage and models, regarding gems, sleepers, favorites and those to avoid. I've always ignored comments on R lenses in the past. Now that I've got a body I'm trying to recall all those postings I've deleted.
