I have a large set of Nikkor lenses as well as a Leica M3 and M6. But for your particular use, since you already have the Nikon, I would make a completely different suggestion. Recently I bought a used Konica Hexar AF. I love it. Yes, it has a single fixed lens (35mm f/2) and a relatively 1/250sec max shutter speed (I use a ND filter to compensate). But the Kexar lens is really extraordinarily sharp, and the stealth features of the Hexar (almost silent) and very very fast on the autofocus, as well as the very modest and anonymous look of the camera have allowed me to take pictures I could not have gotten on my other cameras. You can get one on eBay for $300-500. For photo-journalism I'd try one of these before investing in a Leica.<div></div>

I have a number of Nikkor macros, and most of them are good. But I believe my best results have come from my Vivitar Series 1 90mm lens. An absulutely extraordinary macro. Bradd
