[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I just yesterday purchased a Classic M6 body from Richard Tillis at Woodmere Camera. It should arrive toward the end of this week or early next. I'm on a tight budget and am now searching for a first lens. I need a good value, but not state-of-the-art-optics. Thread mount is OK, non-Leica is OK. My favorite cameras to date are my Canonet g3 ql17 with a 40mm and my Rollie 35SE also with a 40mm. I'd be very happy with a 35mm or even a 28mm. But a 50mm would be OK if it were the "best value." My requirements are that the lens sync up with the body, meaning the framelines come up correctly and the rangefinder is fully and accurately coupled and the optics and mechanical aspects are perfect. Cosmetics secondary. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jeff __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo! Shopping and Yahoo! Auctions for all of your unique holiday gifts!
