Lucien has lent me his 100mm f2.8 apo-macro, with elpro AND 2 x Apo-extender. This afternoon, this setup has been assigned to its first paid activity (not exciting, but paid). Would need around 50 such orders to pay for that lens... After thanking Lucien, i would like to warn all the innocent M luggers: never attend a Leica demo tour, and never plan a local lugger meeting in the vicinity of a Leica dealer. Never even touch any R hardware. Furthermore, never accept any Leica R gear in loan from any smiling LUG pusher: addiction is immediate and seems irreversible. It is a very dangerous and costly addiction: crime rate near Leica dealers is soaring here in Brussels... M was hard enough to justify. Now, with this monstruous new marvel at arms reach, I feel, well, happy ;-) Never, never should have subscribed. Never ! Alan Brussels-Belgium
