Maybe I will bring along my Leitz Summilux 50 as well. I will try to make 3 (or 4) identical 8x10 prints from them. The lighting will likely be near sunset, so all of the pictures should have a nice "glow" about them. >>>>>> Hi Dan, Great idea!!! <<<I would be willing to mail them to you, Ted, to give you the "Leica Challenge". Perhaps you could then forward them along to another interested LUGer, who could add his/her own guesses as to which lens took which picture. >>>>> This adds another learning experience for all of us who wish to have a shot at it. You number the prints and then we "e-mail private" to you our guess and comments. Then each person mails the prints onto next inline with each in their turn doing the same thing over a period of 8 weeks (?) or less depending how far they had to travel. You correlate the end results and what a surprise that will be! :) Hell I hate being stupid! :) Certainly after all I've said. :) But it's a great challenge and I'm in for sure! I guess we need some way of creating the "Leica Challenge Cup!" list so each one can move it quickly to the next contestant. Any efficient ideas folks? OK Dan lets have a go at 'em! :) ted
