Anyone who R E A D S the posts know that I did not say that "all new 50mm Summiluxes in the first batch are defective" or anything like it. Do you know what quotation marks are for? This is what I wrote: "And we can, of course, talk about the bygone age when Leica made produced top quality equipment, as opposed to the current age when they apparently can't even produce a 50 mm lens without having mechanical problems in the first batch." And that is, of course, an absolutely accurate description of the situation. Oddly enough, I don't see the words "all the new 50mm Summiluxes in the first batch are defective," which is what you quoted me as saying. Nor do I believe anyone who is able to read say that what I wrote even suggests that all the lenses were defective. As to my calling you "an asshole," I'm just expressing myself in language I'm sure you can understand, and that even you could probably quote correctly. B. D. As to your "agreeing with me" ... I doubt that anyone reading your post - other than you - would come to that conclusion -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of GREG LORENZO Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2004 6:30 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: RE: RE: RE: [Leica] Re: Riefenstahl's filmed Olympics "B.
