So it is unlikely that I would add the 28mm to this outfit, unless I were to sell some of my existing lenses, which I do not see myself doing. I know what you mean about being able to carry the entire outfit. I too can easily do it with the M outfit. My R outfit lives in a large bag which I take along in the car, but for walking around I only take a subset of it, for example the R8 with the 35-70mm zoom and the SL with the 19mm or something like that. Like you, I find the R system excellent, and in many ways the lenses for the R amaze me even more than ditto for the M. For me, both systems have their place. Don't chide yourself for having spent too much on Leicas. At 73, you have a right to enjoy life and your hobby. You can drive around with the "We are spending our children's inheritance" bumper sticker; on the other hand, I am 39 and I *should* feel guilty about spending my children's college fund on Leicas ;-) Nathan - -- Nathan Wajsman Herrliberg (ZH), Switzerland e-mail: wajsman@webshuttle.ch General photo site: http://belgiangator.tripod.com/ Belgium photo site: http://members.xoom.com/wajsman/ Motorcycle site: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Downs/1704/
