Thing is you guys…
	This fella had to belong to Erwins newsletter to have gotten the note
(word) in the first place.
I say the sarcasm was minimal.

Yes the point might be how many of us have newsletters that we send out
to a nice circulation...

And the answer is none, only Erwin is plugged into lens testing gear and
has the wherewithal to fire intelligent stuff out on a semi regular
basis. Export stuff out to a willing group of readers.


I agree the 50 collapsible Elmar a choice piece of Leica glass for a M7
and M6 5,4 3 and 2!

It's what my wife, Karen Rabiner uses to great effect. I'm envious of it
and plan to some day get one. And a silver one at that. I think this is
one lens where the sliver finish would help from a functional
standpoint. The black aluminum might be too flimsy. The brass i think helps.

And I've been getting into some of the high speed films too. The Neopan
1600 in Xtol 1:3 of course.
But also the 800 speed Fuji NPZ has opened doors for me in my shooting.
As something like 90 percent of all photography is done with color neg
material i say take advantage of the technology at large.

I have the whole roll put on  a cd as it's developed. Raw scans.

Makes for a digital Hasselblad or Leica M.
