Subject: RE: [Leica] 50 'cron or 'lux

Dan,
I used to have a 'cron for my M6, and a Canon 50/1.4 because I couldn't 
afford a Summilux.
(I also had the Elmar and Summar like you - actually a Summitar as well, 
for the 2 screw Leica bodies I have) and then I found a Summilux at a price 
too good to leave so I picked that up, just like you will I'm sure.
Oh! And as I had a Zorki I couldn't resist the 50/1.5 Sonnar copy to put on 
that. Mind you I had to take off the 50/2 black paint lens which had 
already replaced the 50/2 black anodised lens, which I kept just in case.
So, having just sold the 50/1.2 and the 50/1.4 for the Canon 7 I'm only 
left with the 50/2.8 for that if I ever need it.

The net result is, (apart from me being the worst to ask!) keep 'em all 
until you're desperate for the money...
But if you really have to let one go, let the oldest out first.

 I thought that you folks might make my decision less painful
since I am sure some of you, like me, are not into collecting, and keep a
trim kit for your M stuff! My hope is one of you had the same thoughts, and
I'd like to know! So I risk asking!

Dan ( actually serious, for a change!)
