>>It certainly looks like I'll be holding on to my Noctilux and giving =
it
a chance to be my all-purpose lens..  I wonder how long my back will
last. :-).

ben,
i've been fortunate to have a noctilux for about five months now.  it's =
a killer lens, and trust me, you'll get used to the weight.  i also have =
a 75 Summilux, and i find the noctilux easier to handle than the 75.  =
they weigh about the same, but the noctilux just feels better in my =
hands and i forget about the weight.  besides, my two young nephews seem =
to be growing used to, and even rather fond of their aunt kim's one =
LARGE black eye.  :-) =20

i do have a 50/2 summicron too (the first Leica lens i purchased) that =
makes a nice, lightweight alternative.  super sharp too.....

best, kim
