Tina,

I agree with you, but then I do not have a Noctilux or either of the Tele's 
for my M8.  I do have the 21, 28, and 35 with the 50 Summicron.  But I plan 
on doing some detail photos at the Sagrada Familia and other places, which 
means I need a tele of some sort, which for me means dragging one of my 
DSLRs along, either the R8DMR or the D4.

Cheers,
Gene

I travel with the Noctilux and 35/1.4.  That's all I usually need.  If I
added anything, it would be the 90/2.0 and the 75/1.4.  If I thought I
would be doing a lot of landscapes, I would take the 24/2.8.  That's it.
 All of them very old, all of them very good.

Tina
