Time to poison you more, since your Ikon uses the M mount.

Aside from 50mm, 35mm is the classic rangefinder focal length, and the aperture provides more than enough flexibility and the focal length is perfect for taking pictures of people.

As for me, i'm considering this brows.gif

ZF is a Zeiss Designation lah.

Leica uses the designation of M/R/ER or the -vid, -lux, -cron suffixes.

it is close to impossible to make telephoto lens for rangefinders, let alone f/2!

Believe it or not it's actually easier due to the shorter flange distance, the need for a longer exit pupil is no longer there. It's just that RF users have generally gravitated towards portrait and street photography, so there's really no market for these beasts.

The TeleSuperAchromat if adapted to 35mm size does have a near F/1 aperture. Plus if Leica can make the 0.95 F Noctilux, it doesn't seem that far fetched.
