Yep, it was great getting together to meet Matt, quench our thirst and
share some prints.
We also stacked Leicas and took a group photo which Matt hopefully will
post at some point.

Fortunately, Matt had the good sense to post a picture of the better
looking ConnLugger!

After a lengthy lunch, we adjourned to a grassy island in the restaurant
parking lot where Roy set up his tripod with an R8 and 100 APO to shoot
a test comparison between my R-2X APO and his older R-2X.  Matt was
photographing Roy at work and I was photographing the both of them. 
People arriving at the restaurant were giving us a wide berth, covering
their children's eyes etc.  Great time.

ps.. I can verify the chirping lens.  Bizarre!
