Please let me know if you need any further info. - And no, I do not work for these guys or have any business with them apart from being a happy occasional customer ;-) Best regards, Michael ______________________________________________________________________ Michael Byczkowski <michael.byczkowski@sap.com> Manager Regional Industry Group Asia/Pacific Industry Business Unit Utilities SAP Asia Pte Ltd, Singapore > -----Original Message----- > From: Simon Lamb [mailto:s_lamb@compuserve.com] > Sent: Friday, 26 May 2000 05:46 > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: Re: [Leica] Views on the Leica 135mm f/2.8 Elmarit M > > > Bud > > Thanks.
