Nope I think the gear has gone up. Maybe that makes it a good investment?! I tell you we're loosing money not shooting this stuff! I think if the outer edges go a little batty with a 24x36mm sensor they could fix it in software. Put a handful of young computer geniuses in a room and give them several bags of Cheetos. http://www.cheetos.com/retro/parents_products.php My glass wants a job. * The 40mm f2 Summicron-C I got used turns out to be in the list throwing it a bit off it cost me 200 usd used. But I put the same number in for both the old and new lists. mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner > From: Harrison McClary <lists@mcclary.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:48:01 -0500 > To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Just out!
