I hadn't expected the level of response to what was initially meant to be at best a tongue-in-cheek question, but some of the responses were helpful and at times amusing. (Especially the pun, in Latin, referring I assume to Ted's underwear...). One reply had it about right, that I was set on buying the ASPH in any case, and was only looking for a justification with which to appease my wife. But I think after 13 years of marriage, she knows me well enough by now to accept what I spend on my second love... It boils down to the reason for owning Leica in the first place, which to me is because I want to squeeze the absolute best I possibly can out of a 35mm piece of film. I have several other camera systems including 4x5, 6x7, and 35mm, but my most used camera and lens is, and will remain my M6 with 35 Summicron (now ASPH...), as I believe it offers the pinnacle of lens design (among other things). Anyway, perhaps that's enough said on the subject and now it's time I went out and used my new lens ;-) Simon.
