Hello Brian . 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 !
