[Leica] Suggestions for lens purchases?

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey@mchsi.com)]

Hoppy,

Yes, the Elmarit Asph.  If I was going to put out the cash for the 
Summicron, I would have went and gotten the 24 Asph, which they had sitting 
right next to the 28.  But not this time, way too much to spend at this 
point in time.  ;-)
