Oh! To be young again. Except that back then I couldn't afford to own a
Leica. 

My 400/5.6 still raises some eyebrows. You don't find many pistol grips on
modern lenses. Pistol grips, as we all know,  dissapeared long before metal
lens shades; and were never that common from the start. 

Today dof markings seem to be a scarced commodity. Not that the average
non-photographer would notice. Someday I'd like to hear, "Look! A real
photographer. His lenses have depth of field markings.
