Would you like a bottle for your 100 APO so that you too can enjoy the look of the past with all your shots?

And the lens is magnificent, I am sure, but where is that Leica glow or the 1950s-era lenses which are far superior to the crap being turned out today? You need to buy some Vaseline. :-)))))) Sorry to the list, I feel in a provocative mood this morning. Nathan Don Dory wrote: > The 50 ASPH finally arrived. It is worth the wait.
