Subject: New R8 and M6 brochures

I just received the new brochures on the R8 and M6 from Kindermann (Canada)
today.  I noticed that most of the pictures of the M6 are of the chrome
finish.  It really looks good.  I recently bought an old chrome finished
Nikon F2 (sorry!)  from a friend.  I forgot how attractive a chrome finish
is as compared with the boring so-called "pro" black finish.

Finally, I guess its official.  The old 35 summilux is no longer listed.
The only 35/1.4 lens available is the ASPH.  Too bad.  I know that it had
its detractors, but it is (was) still a beautiful lens.
