Subject: RE: [Leica] Newbie- 35 & 50 lens choices and M6 vs G2

Hi,

I also started with the 35-50-90 outfit.
I own the latest 50 2.8 (col.). That lens is really a pleasure,
small, light and its performances are almost comparable to 50 summicron.
When I travel with one lens it's the one I pick.

So my choice is (and still is) 50 2.8 and 35 1.4 asph.

krgds,

logan
