If we all buy 100 shares when trading resumes, we can have an actual say in Leica's future rather than sit in front of our PC's and pontificate about how we know so much more than Leica's market research advisors. Like my advocacy for a 75-90-135 Tele-Elmar M. Unfortunately, after that May 31 meeting, it will probably cost us more than $312! When I first heard of releasing a 75mm Summicron, I wondered where they came up with that, but on further reflection, it probably can share a number of mechanical parts with the 50mm Summicron, so maybe they can do a production run cheaply that would cover the anticipated demand. They may see it as a high profit margin item that has a minimal investment. You know, what they need right now. Tom Schofield
