Just calm down , we ( the LUG ) are gonna help you get away from that desease and get satisfaction out of your 0 . Lately I aquired a new style black Elmar 50 / 2.8 for just the same reason : beauty of the thing . Although I have several 50 's , I just said to myself I was in the need of this one . I'm sure you can get very nice pictures of that Leica 0 . Don't forget : we just live once ! Jo Goodtimes , France - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
