[Leica] My apologies

["Joseph Keene" <leicajoe@hotmail.com>]

Egads! The returns overwhelmingly indicate that I was off-base on this 
one, so please accept my apologies. Thanks for the useful (and civil) 
comments ... I should have taken my own advice and thought twice before 
hitting "send". (Really, I have nothing against off-topic threads in 
general -- I'm enjoying the one on ROR.)

Here's a Leica-related question that I wasn't able to answer from Hans 
Pahlen's page on the LUG, however: is there any place where posts are 
archived, preferably in a full-text searchable format? At this moment 
I'm particularly interested in folks' experiences with the new tri-focal 
lens. I played with it at the store and thought it was (a) light, (b) 
compact, and (c) oh-so convenient, but obviously haven't used it (the 
focal-length ring did not strike me nearly as negatively as some posters 
indicated earlier today). I was a little dismayed at the use of plastic, 
but I guess that's where things are going and we're lucky Leica has 
avoided this trend as much as it has. Erwin Puts' test report is very 
interesting; in fact his conclusions make me look very favorably upon 
the lens despite is slowness. Are there any reports from the front out 
there? Are there any owners of it?

Thanks, and apologies again.

JK
