Hi Axel. Not home yet, but took a few shots with the 50 so you could see
the results

View large, as I made them pretty big for you to examine.
I had posted some earlier with the 35-70, but here are some again. Not
large. If you want them larger, let me know.
The seagulls on this page were all made with the 35-70 aiming almost
directly into the almost setting sun.

>>I will post photos from both as soon as I am able. I will be on vacation
>> about a week or so more. I do have both with me, so I can shoot them on
>> my
>> D7000 and put some up if I get a chance before I return home.
>>
>> The nice thing about your choices is that there really are no bad ones.
>> Well, maybe the early non-Leica zooms. But as far as most Leica lenses,
>> they will all perform above the fray. I am seeing that with Nikon, and
>> earlier, Canon, it is hard to know which are good and which are bad, and
>> which are consistant (ie. can have bad samples and good samples of the
>> same
>> lens). I never doubted that if I bought Leica glass it would be a good
>> copy
>> and it would meet or exceed my abilities as a photographer.
>>
>> I think I would start with the zoom, since it will fit a variety of
>> shooting
>> styles and situations. Then if you find you need faster glass, start to
>> buy
>> some primes at the focal lengths that you are using most often in those
>> situations. Never thought I'd find myself recommending a zoom before.
>> Certainly never did in my 40 or so years of shooting. Only bought the
>> 35-70
>> the last year or so of my dedicated film shooting days, that is to say
>> maybe
>> 4 years ago.

>>> Thank you Aram
>>> thanks everybody for the beautifull pictures and the interesting
>>> comments.
>>> One day i want to be as good as you guys, but i am only addicted since
>>> two
>>> years, so i guess i have some time left to catch up ;-)
>>> This is not a walk in the park for me, but i will do my best to
>>> communicate what i want.
>>> @ Richard from Michigan and Douglas
>>> "I'd suggest asking what kind of 'walking around' is it you most
>>> frequently do." I agree that is a key question.
>>> But I am afraid there is no easy answer. I take pictures everywhere and
>>> all the time .. Mostly people, dogs in action, cycling, low light
>>> situations, but also nature ...
>>> If I were only interested in one kind of photography, it would be
>>> easier.
>>> Take a look at my Flickr page if you want to know more.

>>> (Do not take my first film experiments to seriously, i only wanted to
>>> try
>>> things etc. Take a look at my sets, at the right of the screen, I think
>>> that says it all ... )
>>> I agree with Richard (and others like Herman) that primes are important
>>> tools, he likes them and so do I !
>>> I agree with Dougles (and 'ultra wild' Philippe) about the wider angles.
>>> I
>>> like them a lot. Beautifull pictures Douglas, very nice. I have a 24mm
>>> Ais
>>> Nikon, manual focus off course, not since long, but I use it with my
>>> FE-Nikon, and i love it. 24mm is wide enough for me to get the feeling.
>>> What would 19mm be like ???? I wonder.
>>> But sometimes you need a zoom just to get the (a?) shot ...
>>> If Gary, Aram, Robert, and William are convinced that the 35-70mm f4 is
>>> great, it must be very very good ;-)
>>> I do not want to start a debate 'primes vs. zooms'.
>>> So maybee i should get both ?!
>>> But i have to start somewhere.
>>> So maybee you can send me some pictures. I want to know which lens would
>>> give me the best Leica look for the money.
>>> Is it a 19mm, a 28mm, a 35mm f2, a 50mm summicron, the 35-70mm?
>>> Show me some of your work, pictures that are different, that i think
>>> will
>>> help me best
>>> Aram for example has the zoom and the prime ... He could send me
>>> pictures
>>> of both ?
>>> thank you so much in advance

>>>>> 3. summicron 50mm : faster and 'cheaper' No zoom off course.
