I know, I know, I'll once again be accused of thinking I'm either God
or, even better, Brian ;-), but come on, folks, can we think of a more
inane way to waste band width? Leica isn't making the lens. They've said
they're not making the lens. So no end of nattering here is going to
change that, or get you the lens. So why not discuss something
useful...like which of the various shades made for the various 35s is
most likely to eliminate flare when the light is coming from the left
hand side of the frame, 3 degrees forward of the photographer's right
foot?;-)

Who figures that for the price you guys are willing to pay for this
mythical piece of glass you can easily get best body Canon or Nikon
make, and a whole bunch of quite nice lenses, and make some damn fine
images....:0
