Disagreement always brings out the very best arguments. Maybe I=B4m just an old sentimental Leica fundamentalist who can=B4t = accept anything but status quo? However, I am a Leica USER, and when = I look at my old beaten-up M3s they remind me of my own days of glory = when both my cameras and myself seemed to be indestructible. And I = must admit that my Leicas have aged a lot more gracefully than = myself! They are full of bumbs and dents, but they are all scars of = glory. And today it=B4s hard to tell if they were Black or Chrome. = They are all practically shining Brass! All I=B4ve gotten so far is a = big red nose and stomach ulcer! After all your good arguments and the valuable lessons in the = intricacy of metallurgy, I=B4ve now decided to settle for a simple(?) = chrome M6. Or should I go for the M6 Platinum? That one sure sound = sturdy! No, just kidding! Anyway, thanks to my newfound sense of economics I can now afford a = 35/1,4 Summilux (not the aspherical), instead of the 35/2.0 = Summicron. Any opinions about that would be equally welcome. I really = need a 35mm lens. Regards, Claes
