A cropped Summilux 50! And i still think that Leica should come out with a slow compact version of that 75 focal length. I'd buy it in a flash! Use it both out and about and on the backdrop. IN terms of horizontal angle of view a 75mm lens in 35mm format is within a degree of being the same as a 110mm lens Hasselblad or 240 mm lens for 4x5. Very useful. But not so much for tight headshots which is ideally done with a 135 in my opinion.
