Learn to use that 35 Summicron ASPH first. I can't see anyone getting additional lenses until they've spent at least 6 months learning the one they have. There are too many different ways to make them work. When I used to work daily news I had a boss who was a total prima donna pain in the butt. He would scream, rant and rave and say he could take one lens and make 36 different pictures of a tree stump and that additional lenses were superfluous. I thought he was a fool. I've since learned that he was totally correct. David Burnett of Contact Press almost exclusively uses a 50mm. Learn one lens. The 35 on a Leica is almost a synonymous combination. - -- Carl Socolow http://members.tripod.com/SocPhoto/
