My suggestion would be to get: 60mm Macro Elmarit instead of the 50mm Summicron- sell the Nikkor 35mm Summicron 90mm Elmarit - great bang for the buck 180mm F3.4 Apo Telyt - very good value now that the new 180 APO is out APO 2x Extender The R7 is a great camera, use the RE as a second. I have used all of the above and attest to their quality. Save the really fast lenses for the M where they will do more good. How often do you shoot at F2 anyways?
