They even agreed to trade in my mint German Summicron with hood, caps, leather lens case and original Leitz white cardboard box. I think it was the box that made the deal go through <bg>. The best part of all is that it is being delivered to my office tomorrow so I'll have it for the weekend. That is service that should be standard with Leica equipment. If you need it for a project, the dealer brings the lens to you. I'll let you know next week if this Aspheric optic is better than the 35mm Summicron. Its not that I was unhappy with 35mm Summicron. I just like shooting wide open and that extra f stop comes in handy with a hand held camera. Maybe it would have been cheaper to keep the Summicron and just use a tripod. Nah... I hope Leica remains in business for a long time and keeps making new lenses. Happy shooting, Richard - --------------------- Richard Clompus, OD West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA
