Steve Annapolis ********** Whatever happened to.... oh, never mind. Eric, you can read one guy's opinions about many Leitz LTM lenses at http://www.cameraquest.com/ltmlens.htm Check in the archives (I don't remember how to do that, but wait until Friday and you'll get an e-mail from the list with instructions) for lens serial number lists that will allow you to date the lenses, if their ages are relevant. Good luck; have fun.
