Yeah, good luck on getting the 700 rabidly individualistic views on
THIS list to come to an agreement on what a special model should look
like/which features it should have.

Some time back, someone tried to organize 50 odd luggers to bulk order 
the 21mm Contax VF from Japan.

I don't need to tell you what happened... ;-)

We can't even collectively agree whether the SoftRelease is great or
not!  Some never take it off their camera, others think it's hopeless.
And that is a single piece of turned metal!

I don't even want to think about the length of the "Which features on
the LUG Special Edition?" thread... >;)
