Rob Mueller Studies in Black and White www.studiesinblackandwhite.com rob@studiesinblackandwhite.com - -----Original Message----- From: John Collier [mailto:jbcollier@home.com] Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2000 2:02 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: Re: [Leica] Tentatively FS Friday I am fully aware that I will regret this for the rest of my short miserable life. :-) Though I love the 21mm, I just do not use it often enough and I am constantly trying to twist that 35mm summicron aperture ring just a little further open. As Dr. Deadman has said, the more lenses you carry the fewer shots you get. A curious aside to this thread is that when I told my wife what I was doing she was devastated as she had just ordered a 35mm Summilux-Asph for my up coming birthday! She just hates it when I spoil her surprises and boy was I surprised! I have, however, convinced her to cancel the order. I am still selling the lens and a fellow Leica-user is actually interested in taking it as part trade on a used 35mm Summilux-Asph which he has surplus to requirements. As a result I have scored MAJOR points with my much beloved wife which will be very useful when the mythical M6E comes out. John (not as dumb as he types) Collier > From: "B. D.
