A FAQ for this group would be a real service if you're willing to put it together. Some common topics (off the top of my head): What's the diff. b/t the various LSM models? Which M finders have frames for which focal lengths? Older vs. newer 35 Summicron, 50 Summicron, 90 4.0/2.8 Where do I find lens tests and what are they good for? Prices? Addresses and refs. for various Leica organizations, publications, and repair shops? What is "the glow"? Why should the M still exist in its low-tech form? Obviously, some of these topics should be actively discussed, but a concise FAQ that acknowledges the various takes on subjects such as older vs. newer 50 Summicrons would relieve the tedium of seeing the same basic material addressed every couple of months and provide an excellent reference for folks like me who ignore a thread and then remember its existence half a year later when I become curious about the subject. - -Charlie - ------------------------------------------- Charles E.
