Touch, Peter, touch and feel the unparalleled smoothness of operation of a 
Leica lens and of most Leica bodies. And also sight (ah the curves of that 
R8 and the so obviously perfect features of an M6J...), and, yes, hearing ! 
Have you ever gone through clicking sessions with an M ?  ;-)  I'm not yet 
into licking my 100mm macro Elmarit, so I cannot confirm taste is involved, 
and my senses seem not to be able to recognise the smell of Leica. An 
infirmity on my side I suppose... ;-)
