Feel free to email me privately if you >wish, and if anyone has Mike, I'd suggest starting with an R4sP and a 50 Summicron R, as he asked. Then he can expand beyond that to other lenses. The slower Leica lenses used are not nearly as expensive as the fast stuff. A 28 Elmarit and a 90 Summicron would be good companions for this lens. Then a 180 and a 24, or 21/19. It doesn't take a lot of hardware to have a good affordable outfit (in Leica terms affordable).
