[Leica] IMGS: Summilux SL

[Douglas Barry]

Hope the doc went well for Tom. Anyway, if you do go there, be careful what 
you are served as drink on that train - 58 dead in Siberia from drinking 
contaminated bath lotion. Things are so bad under Putin that they'll drink 
anything....

Best of luck.

Douglas
