Geir, I agree with Frank; either the 35/2,8 Summaron - if semi "wide-angle" 
is your most likely use - or the 50/2 DR or Rigid Summicron. In clean, but 
optically and mechanically excellent, condition, either one will cost 
between $450.-550. Occasionally you will find one that has been serviced.

These lenses are not cheap, but you will have a lens that you will use 
happily for 30-40 years and give to your grandchildren, if they can still 
find Tri-X and Kodachrome film.        ;-)
