First, someone on LUG got their VF on Tuesday, I recall;  I got mine on
Wednesday.  No huhu but I'd E-mail the editor if you don't have it by
Monday (Randy Hooper <LEICA_MAN@msn.com>).

$85 for ANY 1.5/50 LTM CZJ Sonnar is a steal -- these guys usually sell in
the $300 or more range in E condition, $500 in E+.  Christie's just
auctioned a couple in 'Condition 4' for 200 to 300 pounds, about $340 to
$420.  AND DID YOU SEND ME THE SERIAL NUMBER?  Harumph!
