[Leica] The 75 mm Summilux Is Just a Very Cool Lens

[buzz.hausner at verizon.net (buzz.hausner@verizon.net)]

Come on, B.D., the 75 Summilux is simply a very cool lens, exhibiting its 
unique characteristics at all apertures, not just at f/1.4.  I for one also 
think that 75mm is a great focal length, although I acknowledge that many 
people find it awkward...it's all a matter of personal taste and 
photographic style.  The 75 Summilux is a lens that one acquires as an act 
of gestalt therapy, not to fulfill one or more discrete needs.
