Ted at least some of us were just being playful. I have hardly learned 
to make good use of my 35, 50 and 90mm lenses yet. :) I've never used 
anything wider than a 35 I'm afraid.

Sure I'd LIKE to play with something wider but the prices are just WAY 
too high. But we have to keep the collector's investments priced up - 
sorta like diamonds I guess. Then again without collectors there 
probably wouldn't be a Leica anymore.

Sigh
