Marc,
Yes, we hardly ever agree, but here we are even thinking alike--because I
made a similar comment in my post to you and then deleted it, thinking, no,
the Luggers will crawl all over me if I say something like that!!

P.S. We really do have to stop agreeing like this. People will think we're
both going soft.

P.P.S. Also the Tessar in my old Contessa is a simply gorgeous lens. The
camera is a beautifully-built kludge, but the lens is
sharper'n'you-know-what.

P.P.P.S. And another true connoisseur's lens is the Zeiss 110mm f/2 for the
Hasselblad. That might be one of those "ultimate lenses"--the ones that make
you think lenses don't come any better. That one does just about everything
right.
