I'm quite a few years behind you all in checking in at the big hotel in the sky, but I sure would like to reserve a LUG spot if possible. You all keep saying that you might not make it to the full use end of a new M6 0.85, which we all hope is not true. I'm 38. Provided no giant kooties attack me (should I tell you about the year and a half I was sick in bed due to parasites?) and get me before my time, my next biggest opportunity will come from falling off a cliff. As my wife is well aware, when I photograph, I seem to have less fear then common sense. I tend to find a shooting pearch on the Mtn side first and THEN try to figure out how the heck I will ever get down. So far, it has not been by the gravity fed, fast return method. But, I did get the 3 year warranty on the R8 for just such a moment. So, I was wondering; if I check in with the short form quick method by checking the gravitational acceleration rates, would it be OK if I check in with you all at the LUGer Heaven Hotel? What if I promise to land so that I cussion the fall and spare the R8? Any upgrade to better accomidations if I take a few snaps on the way down - kind of document the last moments? Oh yes! I should ask, what kind of lab services will be available? I rather am starting to dial in to PMK - any chance? Well, what chance do I have if the R35mm f2ROM does not show up down here on planet Earth soon - cant even get out to test shoot. Leica is rumoring that they might ship me one in a week or so, if I am really, really lucky! Pete Myers
