RE: [Leica] 35-70/2.8 saga

[Chandos Michael Brown <cmbrow@wm.edu>]

OK, folks, I confess.  It's *my* lens.  I traded a 35hp Johnson outboard, a 
Stephens 12 gauge shotgun, and 60 board feet of seasoned walnut for it (the 
widow thought she'd gotten a good deal, trust me).  I need to finance an 
arterial stith, and I just don't have ready cash for the insurance 
co-payments.  The reserve's high enough sort out the collector riffraff.  I 
want this gem to go to a real *user*.  Can we move on?
