Hey Rangefinder forum(a.k.a. leica forum, jk)
So I want a used Leica a two lenses, and know about where to buy/shop for the stuff I want, I just can't for the life of me friggin' decide what product to get. I'm pretty sure I want a leica m4-p, as it has both 28 and 50 mm finder lines, and it doesn't have a meter so i can find some for pretty cheap. Apart from that, I'm looking for advice on which lenses to look for, as I want a cheap ($200-500 preferably) 28mm f/2.8(but can work with 3.5) and a 50mm f/2-2.8. For the 28, I have considdered the voigtlander 28/3.5, but other than that can't find any others. For the 50, sharp and contrasty enough for slide film would be good, and I have looked at the DR summicron, and the more recent 50/2 that looks kinda skinny and another 50/2 with the focus nubbin (btw, a high value is placed on the focus nubbin), and finially several 50/2.8 collapsable elmars, but I have hear that those aren't that great-true?
All this searching totally confuses me and brings me further and further away from a solid decision. Does anyone have any advice on what I should get to put together a solid one body two lens setup?
