[Leica] Re:Exceptional lenses, and their value today(ChrisWillliams)

Alastair,

I have a pretty good collection of Leica glass now. The last lens I  
bought was a used, 1st version Tri-Elmar. Guess what I use the most  
now? You're right, the TE. It is handy and produces very nice images.  
I would really like to see the new ultra wide version. If it's as  
good as the original it'll be a real winner.
