It is a sharp lens, but has little character, IMHO. It is, as noted already, a bit slow for available light ( sun goes down really early in Ireland, for instance,) at this time of year...... However, it is convenient to have a single lens for 80% of your shooting, and supplemented by a faster lens and faster film, the combo of 2 lenses works really well. May I suggest the rule of doubling? 35 and 75/90, or 35/50 and 90, or 28 and 50......or the 3E plus a Summicron or Summmilux 35 or 50...... It is not that much more weight than a single lens setup..... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
