Thanks, Bernd, I like that lens, except it's so big. Maybe what I need is a 24mm prime to go on the MX or LX - that would be a nice combo for the street, in certain situations. But, I like the little Leica for most "street" applications just because it's so compact and unnassuming. And, unless I know the people I'm shooting, it's hard to "get right in there" with a 24mm - at least it is for me. The 40mm is a nice focal length for walking about, I think. But, yes, the wide angle lens takes some very interesting shots. Thanks for your kind words, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
