Subject: RE: [Leica] Long v. Short focal length usage?

Hi Jeffrey,

I shoot mostly people, and of that, mostly children...so the 75 is
stupendous for that.  I think the 35/1.4 is also a stupendous lense, and the
combination of the 35/1.4 and the 74/1.4 can't be beat for the M cameras for
just about any situation.

Austin
