Luis The great part about this is that, thanks to eBay, most Leitz normal lenses are now rather reasonable in price -- an Elmar or a Summar or Summitar can be scored for not much money, and only a few have held onto value -- most notably the 2/5cm Rigid Summicron, the first 1.4/50 Summilux, and that elusive 1.2/50 Noctilux. Otherwise, most of these guys are now available at prices which would have caused vendors to die of apoplexy ten or fifteen years ago. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
