        --> I've never handled (nor seen 'live') this lens that looks
              like one BIG piece of glass. 
              Is it cumbersome ? Or does it "fall" well in the hand ?
              The camera viewfinder really must feel very bright, no ?
              35mm at f/1.4 is closer to my heart than Noctilux 50 at f/1.
              Is this 35mm f/1.4 lens "crisp" at most apertures? 
              Do the FLE really show "cleaner" at close range than the 
f/2 
              35mm R-Summicron -- which seems to be considered a
              "classic" ?
              Leica remains a dream, but what a dream it is !

              Lucky dogs !
