I do not believe for a minute that Fred wanted to offend anyone. We should be men enough to listen and present alternative points of view, as appropriate. I just saw an old book of photographs by Margaret Bourke-White. The photographs were wonderful and I am sure that she did not have a 35mm ASPH lens. In fact, I believe that she was using Contax a lot. Other, less-famous people I know use the 35mm Summicron to great effect. I try to concentrate on their technique, which is sometimes aided by the quality of a particular Leica lens. Instead of being critical of Fred, let's try to learn from him. Best regards, Chris
