I think I just saw the sun rise in the west ?What's that!!!?? Ted is being a 
technical geek talking about lens qualities!!! We all know perfectly well 
that Ted could shoot with the bottom of a Coke bottle on his camera and make 
great pictures. Now Dr T, next time we get together I'll give you the new 
Summilux 35 ASPH on it to try out. You could try it on the new M!

I had an opportunity to try some art nudes with professional models and was 
very impressed with how well the 35 worked (on my M9) in the very makeshift 
mini studio space. 

This is BW of course but don't look if nudity offends.

The twilight zone for Ted, now we're cooking!
