Subject: [Leica] 75 Summilux unboxed!

LUGgers,

My brand-spanking new 75 summilux just arrived this morning!  Slowly,
deliberately, tenderly I broke open the box and took out the leather case.
My fingers trembled as I unzipped the pouch and extracted the mighty lens
from its lair.

Wow.  This is one gorgeous piece of glass.  The focus collar turns smoothly
and is only a bit tighter than my 50 summicron.  And the aperture rings
turns two more notches to the left!  The hood slides in and out with just
the right amount of friction.

I can't wait to mount this baby and start shooting.

Excited,
Dan
