OK, but as someone with a foot in both camps (leica's and tube amps), could I just point out that the people in rec.photo.latest.whizz-bang are all laughing at us using the awful old mechanical stuff. Tha argument runs true, if you can't believe its better, go and check it out, you just might be wrong. Leica's can let you take the best pictures, valves let you hear the best music. p.s. guitar amps that distort were made on purpose like 90 mm Thambar lenses. :-) -- John Cooper
