I just want to point out the point of disagreement is flawed. I didnt' say
they don't make good lenses. They make great ones, they're just too blue
for my taste. (Being raised on Leica, that makes sense -- their lenses are
warmer.)

And Leica should get it together and compete with big prints next
Photokina. I've seen 8-foot tall pictures taken with a 40s vintage Leica
that are amazing. (Using some developer that sounds like "Perutz" with an
aerial film of some sort - all old stuff I can't remember well.)
