There's very little in the world that can match the thrill of getting a piece of Leica glass like that - and brand new, too! Heavy little bastard, ain't it? Have fun, and let us know what you think.

LUGgers, My brand-spanking new 75 summilux just arrived this morning! Slowly, deliberately, tenderly I broke open the box and took out the leather case. My fingers trembled as I unzipped the pouch and extracted the mighty lens from its lair. Wow. This is one gorgeous piece of glass. The focus collar turns smoothly and is only a bit tighter than my 50 summicron. And the aperture rings turns two more notches to the left! The hood slides in and out with just the right amount of friction. I can't wait to mount this baby and start shooting. Excited, Dan
