But I walked away without either lens. I couldn't get over the thrill that handling the R8 gave me; everything else faded by comparison. And I got a chance to try out Mitch's Noctilux on an M3--very, very nice combination--and Steve's M2 with an older-version 35/1.4: much more alluring than the latest stuff (at least in look and feel). That old summilux model was incredibly compact. Dan > Another point may be viewfinder blockage. I'm assuming the lux is > bigger than the cron?
