I'm in precisely the same position... not wanting to "spend" on more glass. In fact, that's the promise I've made to my wife. And I also need to keep a simpler (is that a word?) kit.Yes - I'm just trying not to 'spend' any money on lenses - so I'm moving things about.

The 35 'cron pre-asph is also very nice. had that one too (I bought to many lenses the last 6 months :bugeyes: )FedEx just delivered a 35 Summicron version IV. First test shot... nothing special, just had to give it a whirl! Wide open
Too many lenses, eh? I understand completely. :angel:The 35 'cron pre-asph is also very nice. had that one too (I bought to many lenses the last 6 months :bugeyes: )
