Hoya, Tiffen, Spiratone? Just kidding, Walt Seriously, it's obvious by now that most of us use some Leica M, in addition to an SLR for macro/long lens work. Some use Leica R, some Nikon, some Canon......DON't want to hear that BS again....BUT: Do any of you own and use, as "personal" gear (probably non- professionally) any truly wierd crap? Alpa anyone? Contarex Super/Professional? "real" Exactas? Even wierder? lets limit it to 35mm..... I've used RFDR Nikon/contax -- pretty "mainstream" -- BUT I've also owned (father-in-law has it borrowed) AND used a Prominent... and a Contaflex super B......and a Super Ikonta (oops, blew it, that was 120!! but small) Always wanted an Alpa 6c -10d series, with 50 and 100 switars.... now bring on the white coats that tie in the back......... Or a Contarex (not that BUTT-UGLY bullseye) and 50 planar/100 Sonnar.... What ya say? Walt
