Well I have now started on the Leica journey as I purchased a Leica R 21-35mm ASPH Lens secondhand in Mint condition boxed with case for £800 (1000 EURO) which I think is a good price for this lens.

I was amazed at the light weight and compact size for a metal built lens (as opposed to Nikon plastic) but I do accept the small maximum apperture may restrict some uses.

It seemed a good place to start as it solves the problem of which wideangle to buy first and I have read some excellent reviews of this lens and seen some stunning pictures it has produced.

I have heard some excellent stories about the new (1998) version of the R 50mm F1.4 Summilux Lens, perhaps this will be next..........?

Regards
