I _do_ have power windows (and have had them ever since the first car I
bought with them, so you're right) but I wish now I had saved the money
instead for the 'lux. :)

I'd all but talked myself into the 35 summicron and putting the $1k savings
toward the new 28 asph.  But maybe buying a used 35/1.4 asph is the better
strategy.  Then again, _are_ there any used 35/1.4 asph's?  Seems folks
rarely part with this gem.

Cheers,
Dan
