I recently got myself an R-D1 and am really delighted with the way it's got me out again taking pictures. So far I've got a decent collection of CV lenses (12mm, 15mm, 28mm and 50mm) but am looking at other possibilities.
I have two options, one is to get a lens which fall between the 28 and 50mm lenses the second is to get a longer lens.
With the first option I'd be really grateful if anyone could give me any experience they may have comparing the 35mm Ultron and the 40mm Nokton in terms of image quality. The Nokton is the better fit between the 28mm and 50mm and is cheaper but I'm not sure how the two compare optically.
It may look like I'm in danger of over-equipping myself with lenses but at some point I'm likely to get a film camera and would use the 35/40 lens as my walk around lens.
On the second point, I'm a bit worried about how easy the 90mm lens is to focus given the short rangefinder on the R-D1 - is this a problem? I've got myself a 135mm viewfinder which should be about right.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
