If you do, the go for it. Buy the lens and make sure you have return privileges. Run a couple rolls through your camera and then either keep it or send it back. But don't worry about photos of it. The 75 1.4 is a hell of a lens. As to size, yes, compared to most M lenses its big - compared to any other manufacturer's 80-85 1.4s, it's compact. B.

B. D. In an ideal world, I would agree with you 100%. The only local camera store that is a Leica dealer stocks a chrome M6, a crome 50 Summicron, a C1, C11, Minilux, and the Minilux Zoom. That is it! I figured that seeing a picture of one is better then nothing, but that is only my opinion.
