WOW Philippe
THANK YOU so very much for your time and the interesting information !!!
I mean a summicron.
IF i buy a 50mm for my R3, it will be Leica noting else.
who is happy with the 35-70mm f4 ? Anything else in this range ?
Compared to the summicron 50mm ? (talking image quality, off course, it is a 
zoom as i know ;-)   )
thank you all
greetings, Axel
