This is the kind of thing that really ticks me off, and it is not the first
time it has happened.  My own fault, however.  I wanted to get back  into
the M system and hurried sold my R8 and lenses to do so before the rebates
went off.  I was assured by several dealers that they weren't coming back.
I could have done it with very little financial chaos rather than what I
did - and now they are back.

Kind of like when Cadillac said they weren't going to make any more
convertibles back a number of years and people collected the ones they
could - surprise!!

Oh well, I am enjoying the M6 TTL, 24/2.8 asph, 35/1.4 asph and 90/2.0
apo/asph, even if my bank account isn't.  Problem - how can I buy film??? <gr>
