Both of them are small and compact and between them offer a wide enough variety of view. Recently I bought a Tri-Elmar and was amazed at how liberating the experience of travelling was, no extra lens to carry about, at the expense of speed (in f-stop terms) and a focal length longer than 50mm. If I had to keep only one lens it would be this. If I wasn't allowed this expensive lens, I'd keep the old 35 Summilux. If I had to keep only one 50mm lens, I'd try to get the Summilux, but I know I'd be happy with a Summicron. Hope this helps, but your preferences are unlikely to match everyone elses... Jem - -----Original Message----- From: Bego Mario Garde [SMTP:BegoMario.Garde@gmx.de] What would you do? "Travel light" and just stick with the 35 and 90mm-lens, or buy the 50mm Summicron additionaly? What is your experience? Would the 50mm 'cron be a wise completion or just another heavyweight to carry around? Bego - -- http://www.begoundstefanie.de
