Hi Ted, The problem was not so much being with-in sight of Irene as the fact that she could actually hear us! Women seem to have better ears than young bats! Perhaps we need to develop our own secret code when discussing pricing in front of any of our significant others. We could for example reverse the price of the new Summilux from $2,500 to 0052$. A new MP would be 0062$, etc. This of course works best with the higher priced stuff as a 1.25 mag. would be 571$ instead of $175. Regards, Greg
