BD and LUG,

May I absolve myself - at least partially - of the heinouus crime of wanting 
to 
attach someone else's glass to a Leica body by saying that I strongly 
suspect 
that the glass that I am talking about is of German design, close to LUG 
hearts, 
even if labelled "Minolta".

Mea culpa,

Peter
