Too much $$$ being spent! I've decided I can't part with my Contax 35, so am going get a cheaper canon 50 1.2 LTM as my only lens for the m6 until I can save up again. If the ZM35 proves to be too much temptation I might be swayed to swap the Contax later.

Latest was the Nikkor 28mm f/2.0-N.C Auto in pristine condition with the original leather case. After a lengthy search, I was able to source the original Ai conversion kit which seems to be as rare as hens teeth. It is one large piece of glass compared to its little brother, the 28mm f/2.8 AI-s.
Half the fun is researching and finding these old school gems.

I have just received a Leica M 90mm f2.5 Summarit lens for usage with my A7r kit/system. This is my third M mount lens and my 2nd Leica M lens for my system. It joins my WATE, Minolta CLE MC 40mm f2 M-Rokkor lens and my extensive Leica R lenses.
(Seriously, I am!
