============================================================
Mark,
What would make me feel warm and fuzzy is having the
discretionary income to buy a new Leica lens.
I had a little good luck years ago before the polishers
from around the world drove the prices beyond reason. I
lucked into:
1. 85 mm. f/1.5 Summarex near mint
2. I80 mm. f/2.8 TeleElmarit for Visoflex used but nice
Are they neat toys ? Yes.
Are they any better that the phreak behind the
camera ? Probably.
Have other lenses equaled or surpased them? Probably.
for some things. But not all.
All I can say is that I enjoy them when I get the
chance, which isn't often enough anymore.
