Re: [Leica] The Leica Mystique

Thanks Bill.  I've wanted to let the LUG in on this piece for a long time but I
don't have a scanner.  I finally just sat down and typed it.  Good thing I spent
35 years as a programmer where I got a lot of experience pounding the keys:-)

I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope others do as well.  I've been waiting for the
Noctilux lovers to say something about his view of it.
