I agree with Mike on this one. And there are some real bargains among the M lenses. I'm quite fond of the M 100/2.8, the M 35/2.0, the M 40/ 2.8 "pancake lens," the M 50/1.7, the M 135/3.5, the M 200/4. Most of those, with the exception of the overpriced pancake lens, can be found for less than $100, and all of them are very sharp and very compact. The sharpness of the M 200/4 continues to amaze me, and this is a lens that can usually be had for around $60. It's also one of the most (if not the most) compact 200s on the planet. For that reason alone, I use it extensively. Paul
