I say go out and get it! Charge it up! But hearing about trading for it so it's not as if you had to pay can often bug me. It's like you get something for nothing so you care about it accordingly...so when the next thing comes along you trade that in. Where's the commitment? What has value? It's like investing 5 grand in cameras and recycling that investment over and over again so you are not bored with your little materialistic world but not having to shell out any extra. Where's the Photography? No wonder these cameras are being used to shoot film that goes to the minilab. I say grab that Summilux! But I hate hearing the implication that the Summicron "let me down" "was not what I thought it would be" to justify trading it in that beautiful cut gem that deserved a more committed master. IMHO (In Mark's hedonistic optimism) Mark Rabiner
