Francois & LUG,

As long as LUG members are buying bulk (at least 50, last count) Contax 21mm
G-finders for their M6's, this will never happen!!  :)

Actually, Arturo, the fact that the LUG bought 50 Contax finders may wake
Leica up to two facts - some of their pricing is WAY out of line with
reality (and, by the way, if the Zeiss 35 f 2 autofocus lens can sell retail
for as little as $400 or less, why is Leica charging more than 3 times that
for theirs - and don't try to tell me the answer is that the Summicron is 3
times better. It's not

And, there is real buying power on the LUG.
