And also sight (ah the curves of that R8 and the so obviously perfect features of an M6J...), and, yes, hearing ! Have you ever gone through clicking sessions with an M ? ;-) I'm not yet into licking my 100mm macro Elmarit, so I cannot confirm taste is involved, and my senses seem not to be able to recognise the smell of Leica. An infirmity on my side I suppose... ;-) Alan
