Hello Guys,
I'll be buying an R9 in the next few days and will start building an
SLR system. The main reason for selecting the R9 is to use Leica R
glass with a film body that allowed me to work faster than my other
two systems (Leica M4 and Hasselblad 501CM). As much as I love the M4
and the 'blad, I'm looking forward to using a camera with a variety
of metering and exposure modes that will allow me to react to quickly
changing conditions again.
My only experience with R-lenses is a very short shooting session
with a 50/2 on an R7 and I absolutely loved that lens, so it'll
definitely be part of my selection at some point. But for now, I'd
rather start with focal lengths (35mm equivalent) that I don't
already have in my other two systems (35/2, 50/1.4 and 90/2.8 for the
M4 and 50/4, 80/2.8, and 150/4 for the 'blad), so I'm looking at wide
angle lenses in the 20 - 28mm range and short telephotos from 100 -
180mm.
Could anyone give me a run-down of the R lenses in those ranges and
their strong points?
Thanks in advance,
Miguel Asensio
