I might be a bit mad but...

By the way John, I clearly remember your Monkey series. They were awesome!! So sharp and clean. They almost convinced me to buy the 40mm but I already had the 35mm. It is a pity you sold that camera.

Cheers

Sold? Never! It's just having a little rest while I concentrate on film :)

Many thanks for all the help & advise on the lens front.. I had a look at the 40mm and did a few tests at home with my SLR and came to the conclusion it was just a but to long for every day use.

I did have the good fortune to find myself a 35mm Voigtlander F1.7 Ultron for less than £200, so ive gone with that for starters...

I do think that i would like a 50mm to go with it..

Any idea how the Jupiter 3 & 8 compare with the Canon 50mm F1.4 ?

Thanks Jamie

From my past 2 months' experience of using R-D1s, I would recommend canon 28/2.8, which is small and view-wide enough (near 40mm lens on traditional film camera) for street-shot within 3m distance. Welcome to view my trial-shots on http://user.qzone.qq.com/534374887
