[Leica] How to spend $1K

[cummer at netvigator.com (H&ECummer)]

Hi Vick,
I have just come from the Friday morning at Zen and was playing with  
Tom's Nokton 50mm F1.1.
That should be about $1K and would be right at home with your  
Noctiluxi and hi speed Nikkors and the Canon.
Think of all the comparos you could make!!
Just a suggestion,
Cheers
Howard
