Hair plastered against my forehead and a churning in my gut. Reaching alongside the bed I placed a hand in the small canvas bag nearby and the dream became reality! Oh God, it's true! I'm Noctiluxless! What will I do? Then my fingers find the battered rim of a tried and true friend. Summicron is still there. I'm not alone! It's sharper, smaller, and much cheaper. It works for me, and I don't work for it. Sure, it means 15 at F2 instead of 60 at 1.0 but I can live with that.Especially since the old friend Summi is F2 across the board. Who wants to view the world as if you've got an eye plastered to a toilet roll? Bright in the middle and dim elsewhere. Sometimes there's a blur. Everything moves. Everything is in a state of flux. The Universe is still expanding. But if I keep in shape, lay off the evil weed, nicotine, and make my Cuba Libre's sans rum? ( I know, that last one really hurts) http://gallery.leica-users.org/Walts/vai http://gallery.leica-users.org/Walts/ron http://gallery.leica-users.org/Walts/beg Walt J.
