The lens is certainly a better performer than the 35/3.5 Elmar. I have one and am thinking of buying a LTM Leica body just for that lens. Actually I have it on the Bessa L with the 35 minifinder - kind of Leica I feeling with inbuilt meter and flip-out back door... > > Didier Didier, That would be a very fine candidate. I am not stuck on the Leica brand. It's the size of the package (and acceptable results) I'm looking for. I kind of assumed that LTM Nikkors would be overpriced by the collector's market. Maybe the same goes for the others as well? Daniel _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
