Yes, I am primarily a lurker, but I do speak up when I have something to say. I have been a photographer since I was a kid and a Leica photographer for 30 years now. I still test my lenses when I get new ones and to ensure that everything is working properly using a Patterson test target and at greater distances, tree limbs, etc. As a result I have been disappointed now and then wiht a new lens and Leica has always sent me exchange lenses for my approval. I also use my lenses - all of them. But I am always, like many here, looking for more lenses! Your research has been most influential in my decision-making in this regard. I take seriously your findings and conclusions and deeply appreciate the amount of knowledge and energy that goes into your reports. Of course I shall follow your work on your website, but I think you're leaving here will be a significant loss to this group. Rest assured, that regardless of your reason for your action, that "this lurker" will miss you. Best regards, Bob Figlio, Ph. D.
