This in turn made my 50mm Summicron redundant but it makes more sense, relatively speaking, to under use the Summicron which I bought in 1976 than it does to under use a lens that I bought recently for a sum of money equal to the GNP of a small developing nation. In taking the decision to buy a Noctilux I was heavily influenced by the crowd in the virtual pub on IRC Leica. They pointed out, and this is rooted in logic, that I could get always get my money back on a Noctilux. I recommend anyone who is wrestling with an irrational urge to buy something that they don't need to drop into IRC Lieca and they will talk you into it in no time, thereby absolving you of all guilt :-) - --Graham - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
