Most all of the messages on this board are both tremendously informative (actual experiences), very professional, and by and large in good humor. (I have to laugh and cry as well at the short sighedness of the cruel and bitter flame-o-grams.) It has be fun sifting through the 100+ messages per day for information regarding the M6 & 35mm lens (I am looking for a used M6 and a 35 for it).

The film I use is Fuji MS 100/1000 shot at ASA 200. Jim At 09:15 PM 2/19/00 -0500, Timothy R.

You used the term 'lenses' - - was that the plural of lens or of lense - we need to know! Thank you for having the courage to speak out - whether or not it be PC or not. >Tim K > > >----- Original Message ----- >From: <FIGLIO4CAP@aol.com> >To: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> >Sent: Saturday, February 19, 2000 7:25 PM >Subject: Re: [Leica] Re: FS: 35 1.4 aspherical (1st ver) > > >In a message dated 2/19/00 1:42:45 PM Eastern Standard Time, jim@brick.org >writes: > ><< I may well be the > finest lens I have ever owned/used.
