I think Henry brings up an interesting point. I wonder how many of us use 
these fine instruments like they should be used. I own an m6 with 35mm 
summicron (latest before ASPH) the current 50 summicron and 90 tele-elmarit 
(which has a tendency to flare but when its not its sharp and elegent) and I 
shoot a roll per day somedays two. Just that act of a hearing the shutter 
snap to attention makes my day sometimes. The pure joy of the perfect 
instrument and the incredible images you can capture, thats what leica is to 
me. Now granted I work at home and have a one year old to keep the film 
running through the camera but I did the same when I had no child. Leicas 
are made for photography, and a photographer is one who makes photographs. 
If I could have my wish I'd want to see everyones images 9 times out of 10 
over drivel about which 50mm summicron is best.
