I particularly enjoyed his two posts in response to the silly post by Fred Ward condemning those who debate the merits of Aspherical and APO lenses. If one didn't believe that Leica equipment and particularly the APO lenses were "world class" then we should ridicule Leica for having the gall produce such expensive mediocrity. The desire to own the best may fit with one's personal striving to be the best!! I don't appreciate you telling anyone to leave this user group! Maybe YOU need to find a different forum. Paul T.
