I wouldn't hesitate for one second before considering a major purchase from these fine folks. I will always remember the day that I met James Lager in person when I visited the Tamarkin store in New York City. We first stopped in to visit the Leica Gallery (next door) and we chatted with the nice folks there. Both places are like a fantasy land. I had my M4-P and M6 with me and had my 21/2.8. We got to talking and Mr. Lager seemed very interested in my 21 because its focusing cam would focus down to .4 meter (about 16 inches), closer than it would move the rangefinder prism (.7 meter) in the body. He told me it was sort of special, and he even wrote down the serial number of the lens ELMARIT-M 1:2.8/21 #2994083. I really love this lens. - -- Tony Rowlett Anchorage, Alaska http://www.alaska.net/~rowlett
