Try a search of the archives found here, http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/ Generally, though, you will first have to decide if you want a 50, 35, or 28 as a compliment for the 75. For a 50, if you do not feel comfortable dealing with strangers then I would look for someone splitting up their Konica RF outfit. The Konica 50 can be had very cheaply. My next choice would be a user Summicron last generation or two. If you feel confident of your ability to horestrade then my next suggestion would be the Jupiter 50mm F1.5 at around $100. Next, the Nikon 50mm F1.4 or the Canon 50mm F1.4 in LTM. You will have to acquire the adapter but these are common used or cameraquest has new ones, as do others. For the 35mm suggestion, on a budget new the C/V choices are quite good. I would say though, spend the money on either a Summicron pre ASPH or save up and acquire the ASPH used. On a real budget, the Canon 35mm 2.8 from the fifties is a strong performer and can be quite cheap. LTM adapter also is required. If the price is right the 35 Summaron is also a very good lens.
