Given that the M excels in the wide angle department, and looking at the lens range as a whole, the one thing that *really* stands out is the lack of fast lenses wider than 35mm. Once you go wider than that, you're stuck at f2.8. As I've said several times on this list, I'd *love* to see a 24mm ASPH Summicron (I'd love a 24mm ASPH Summilux even more, but I'm not holding my breath for that one). David Morton
