[Leica] Pick three

[achurak at mindspring.com (achurak@mindspring.com)]

Hello All,

I would use the following :

1.4/35 Summilux-M ASPH - excellent all around lens great for low light
                                        This would be my primary lens.

1.4/50 Summilux-M          - backup lens for the 1.4/35 Summilux-M ASPH

2/90 Summicron-M (last pre-ASPH) moderate telephoto 

Do not forget the Tom's rapidwinders for both bodies !

Thanks,

Andrew ...
