I buy into this system for the camera (body), the feel, the technique, the ergonomics, the style. The lenses are great, and if I can afford the genuine Leica jobbies I'll take them, but I'll take a foriegn name lens to get a new focal length and save several hundred dollars / pounds. If you've got a touch of camera shake at 1/125th sec. no one will see the difference between a 35/1.4 Summilux Asph and a Jupiter 35/2.8. One's over a grand and the others yours for fifty notes.... But the camera still feels good and the shot is still the same. Jem - -----Original Message----- From: FIGLIO4CAP@aol.com [SMTP:FIGLIO4CAP@aol.com] Why a Cosina lens on a Leica - why bother?
