 and ridicule in the office.

	Probably the "big gun" syndrome ?    ;+>)

	Or paying that much for a LEICA when
	you can get a "nice" N... or C... or Tokina
	for so much less...

	Or a Sigma, for way less.
	Imagine a Leica user forced to "go Sigma"
	after being so spoiled....  :+(
	I know what Sigma does for consumers, but it
	must be like public transit after driving a Porsche,
	to a Leica person.

	Probably a video game crowd, still, too !

	Though quite a luxury, there's something about that
	APO f/2 90mm-M that spells "m a g n i f i c e n t"
	object, with unmatched performance level.

	As fetish, it's hard to beat !
