I ran over and shot a few cows with sunset and as I zoomed in just enough to eliminate the barbed wire foreground with my 35 to 70 AF Nikkor which cost a bit more than a Leica M lens cap I thought: "Weeeeeeeeee zooms are great!" Then I drove to Kansas City and got a battery cover. But a 50,75,90mm Tri Elmar with Leica quality would get my attention. Mark Rabiner
