sblitz Posted July 9, 2011 Share #21 Posted July 9, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) you will end up getting other lenses, as the 35mm is imho somewhat neutral in its view of the world. more important it is really a great first lens to start with and learn about you and the camera -- but it won't be your last lens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Hi sblitz, Take a look here 50mm or 35mm for M9?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Your next, and perhaps more difficult question will be what FL (and f-stop perhaps even more agonizing) to get as your second lens: A bit closer - 50mmm? A lot closer - 75-90mm? A bit further - 24-28mm? A lot further ≤21mm? Slow or fast or faster - expensive or more expensive or very expensive - light or heavier or heavy? New or used? Leica, Zeiss, CV? Is the lens available without a long wait? The Forum is full of discussions about such life-and-death decisions. And to put it all into the correct fied of view: the lenses may help but will not make great photographs, as of course that's up to who is behind the camera;) The choice is all yours:D Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted July 10, 2011 Share #24 Posted July 10, 2011 My guess is that no matter how many lenses you eventually buy, you'll use one of them at least 75% of the time, and one more most other times. I'll still bet on this. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickgrafixstop Posted July 10, 2011 Share #25 Posted July 10, 2011 I'm a great lens set advocate. Going light, the 35/75 combo works well for what I like to shoot. Travel kit seems to meld toward 28/50/90 to cover most situations. If you limited me to one lens, I'd use the 35 summilux. (notice the Digilux 2 covers the whole shebang!)
