Thanks for the reply. I have been leaning towards the SL 75 since I already have a 90 for the M. Having said that, I had one years ago and regret selling it. Now that the SL is more popular and repairs can be done here in the states it make sit more attractive. But BOY ! used prices are insane these days.

I do have an opportunity on a 35 SL for a good price. But I really love the 75 focal length.

Hello JT: After selling the M9, I purchased the M240 and 1st. gen SL. Initially I shot the SL with my M-mount lenses, the Summarit 70, the Summilux 35, a Zeiss Biogen 21, and a Zeiss 50. I LOVED all of the M-mount lenses.

Had some repairs needed for both the 70 and 35. Even though the repair depot was a UPS 2-day trip, the time in the shop I felt was excessive, at 6 to 8 weeks. Loved the SL but for a lot of my shooting, I planned to buy the (at the time) 2, SL zooms, a pricy proposition to say the least!

Because the SL was new to the market, Leica told me IF any SL lens needed repairs, they'd have to be shipped back to Germany! How many months would I be without gear I needed to make money with?

That was kind of the last straw. Sadly, I sold everything to a reputable Leica dealer in Chicago and went to the dark side.

If you're staying with M-mount lenses, you can't go wrong with the Summilux 35. Tack sharp, small and fast!
