ED-
Actually, I was wondering if his lab had the equipment to do LASIK surgery,
and did LUGgers get a discount!
Seriously, does it matter? What are Marc Small's 'credentials' for being an
expert on non-Leitz LTM lenses? So, he's written a book. Hell, he's even a
lawyer, and no ones beating him up!
(Sorry Marc, you were just handy!  :o}~)
Erwin does what he does because he has a passion in what is a neverending
search for perfection! We benefit from the fallout of his many failures to
find it! (Remember, almost only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades). As
long as Erwin continues his quest for his particular 'grail', I say we stand
quietly, out of his way, reaping the harvest of his knowledge, and LEAVE THE
GUY ALONE, fer cryin' out loud!
I wonder if Fox-Talbot, Dauguerre, Niepce, et al had to defend their
credentials for following their curiousity?

Dan ( my way of saying ME TOO)
