Who purchased the camera body only?

Same here: just for the fun of autofocus. Although I am very pleased with the 24 3.8 M on the CL (36mm equiv). The German-manufacture 35 and 60 lenses are big and heavy so I am contemplating the 23 TL, duplication  nonetheless (faster, though).

You might think that the 35 duplicates the various M 50's and is about the same size, but it is AF, so it should really be compared with the 50 SL, which is a whole lot bigger and the same aperture.  I doubt that it is quite as strong optically, but it seems a credible lens for this camera (but not for me, as I am OK with MF on a 50).  Similarly, I could use an M 35 mm Summilux, but it is bigger than the 23 TL and the TL has AF which is nice for shooting in crowds of people, so there I chose to get a 23 TL.
