Bored as you may be my your Summicron familiarity has its advantages. Sell that lens to help you buy the other one and what happens if you don't like it? You have to get the exact version of that Summicron that you cherish now more so in it's absence. "I want my Summicron!" you wail. The answer is don't sell your old baby until you know your new kid is going to go to bat for you and hit a home run. It will take longer to save up for that new lens without selling that old one first. A process that leads to less frivolous and/or disastrous buying and selling.>> Mark Rabiner That's some good advice for the Leicaddiction. Basically, keep your Leica stuff! I should listen... Like many others I have to upgrade and jump to the idea that it's a lens for lens deal. Well, obviously my life has something to do with lenses!! So, I should keep tossing them around?! Nah.. sell the car you can take the bus. Of course this would apply specifically to those who can't have all the 50's Maybe there is a catch-phrase that could imbed some logic into our obsessions. Nu?
