Dear Fred, 

It's nice to hear some like you new to the group...
Let me say something, maybe you're falling down over some prejudices since
you're so new and already made up or could figure out how we are...
Maybe you need, as any other would, some more reading about our ideas on or
off Leica gear...anyway we're human beings before Leica users, photographers
or amateurs.
And let me say other more thing, do you really love us ? So, I certainly
believe in what should be called cyber love at first sight. It sounds a
little weird but possible.
I suggest you to relax, have a drink, fasten your sit belt and prepare
yourself for one of the best flights over the Leica lands. You'll learn a
lot if you'll be able to open your mind and keep your eyes as wide as a
Noctilux. 
The last days were something weird for all of us but we are reliable,
knowledgeable, kind and more stuff like that... in just a word we deserve
the best for being humans and secondly for being Leica lovers.

At last I'll refer to your new Leica gear.
On the side of the M6. 35/2 and 50/2 you will not be disappointed, IMO.
But on the side of the 90/2,8 ( I would not like to start or restart or
renew some old 90mm lens thread, I suggest you to give the LUG archives a
look) you'll maybe feel that the lens is worst than we, the group you
declared your loving.

At last, have a nice day, take your camera and lenses out or in and take
some images. 

welcome Leica lands
