The triumverate...

Yes, these are fat little boys, but, oh, so fast. Time to hit the gym and build up those Popeye forearms.

....

I admit that I have the 50 Summilux asph and the 90 Summicron Apo-Asph., and to the lightweight 28mm Summicron I like to add some 18mm as well - but have not achieved any Popeye dimensions and I am sure I never will.

Someone who wants to rule alone might say: "Let me have men around me that are fat..."

I prefer my lenses to have a lean and hungry look: Elmarit 28, Apo-Summicron 50 and Apo-Summicron 75. (For a better analogy perhaps I should go for the Elmar 135 instead of the latter).

Well, that is one handsome triumvirate, and when all is said and done, enough serious Leica glass to take on the challenge of any assignment. Leica rules!

Wonderful covey of fast glass but my take; I switched from Nikon SLRs for the light portability of M bodies and lenses. the focus inaccuracies inherent to RF and super-fast glass seems to lend these gems as better suited for the SL. 

I'd be happier with a 28 Elmarit, Summaron or CV 3,5/28, 50 Elmar M and 90/4. The new sensors make this an easier choice.

I feel like every now and then I would need something on the longer range without cropping the image I took with the 50.

 

Cartier didn't add anything except of the background...the bag was standing on the chest of drawers next to the lenses and I thought red and black gives a nice contrast....photo taken with iphone though.... :-)
