Japanese lens better hurry; it's coming down as soon as I can get to my other computer, so as not to irritate further the Leica cognoscenti. Matt Barker >> Matt, --- Please excuse Mark and B.D. for their unthinking remarks about your "lens test" of the 50 Collapsible Cron. and the Nocton. Both of these gentlemen sometimes say things that would be better left unsaid. They are not representative of the LUG, only a miniscule part of it. Most of us test lenses just the way you did, by shooting the same or similar subjects and looking at the differences. I thank God every morning, that I am of voting age so that I can cancel B.D.'s vote on just about every subject there is. Mark has never owned a 50mm Collapsible Summicron to my knowledge, so what is the value of his opinion on that subject? I enjoyed looking at your first shots, if not for the test then certainly to see what a delightful family you have. Welcome to the LUG, and regards, -- Paul Connet
