PRICES OF LEICA WITH AUSPICIOUS SERIAL NUMBERS WILL BE GOING THROUGH THE ROOF!!!!!!!! Then again, I suppose I am not the only on in the LUG with serial no fetishism. Recently, I found an 50 Summilux with #1688886. The condition is EX+ but who cares!!! On your #3636888, can we arrange for a swap with a new ASPH lens?? (Still trying after 3 years) Cheers, Lee Fellow LUGGER from Singapore - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Henning J.
