After re-reading my post I thought I might have gone a bit over the top... glad to hear it was on-target (at least for you). I would say I am a 28-35-90 kinda guy. I seldom use a 50. The view is just so.. "normal" for my tastes. I really like a 35 as my "normal" lens, and a 90 for it's ability to extract the element I am turned on by. The 28 is a true wide but not extreme and I can use it wothout too much perspective distortion if I'm careful (I hate tilted buildings and elongated noses in my pics). > > If you're mr. richey rich then get them all but i don't think you > would've asked this august group if you were Mr. Rich. Rich? Not hardly.... I'm currently on a blinders-on pre-retirement spending spree to accumulate all my toys so when the discretionary income dries up I'm all systems go for a second life of leisure and creativity. I planned (or fantisized) retirement at 55... alas, I've recently hit 55 and the stock market killed my 401k and now it looks like I need to wait to get a golden parachute from my maybe-to-be-merged/bought out company, or hit the lottery (or let my wife support me....hmmmm). > You will receive hundreds of suggestions - this is just but one and not > a particularly good one at that. I look forward to hearing more suggestions, particularly about the gestalt of the M4 vs M6 et al... thanks much for yours. cheers Jack Tucson, AZ - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
