Now the M3 is the exclusive host to a 50mm and occasionally a 90mm. The M2 always plays host to a 35mm most of the time and occasionally a 28mm (my M2 has the M6 frames). So if you are buying an additional body to your .72 then that body could be host to 50mm and larger and the new body, a .58, for the wide angle lens. Just my .02 cents.
