I have several other Leitz or Leica lenses, all second hand. Four C/V lenses all new, all replaced by Leica now except the 15 M. I had the LTM C/S, liked performance and hated the handling. Likewise the LTM 21. Really nice performer, hideous handling. The 21 pre-asph Leica is a far better handling lens. This is my second one. The first I sold to GeeBee, because he could use it better than I could, and I had just bought the C/V. The only lens I regret selling was a Noctilux. I really didn't bond with it on my M7, but I would love to see what it can doo on the M9. I bought my M6 and my M8 new. My M9 was a Popflash deal with hardly any counts on it. I still have an M6, MDa and CL. R3, R8, CLE, M2, M42, all bought used, all gone. -- Regards, Sonny http://sonc.com/look/ http://sonc-hegr.tumblr.com/ Natchitoches, Louisiana USA
