ARE WE DRIVELING to Indian food again?!! :-) Watch it, some people may
unsub... :-)

Peter, Leica's new lenscap is more expensive than a used M3 (ok, I
exaggerated, but still), so I don't think they have shallow pocketers
in mind.

For the life of me, I can't see why ANYONE would buy a Nocti 0.95 when
a 1.0 can be have for *merely* $5000 and a Nokton for $1100, but sell
they do, so I guess Leica doesn't need a lot of deep pocketers, just
enough to buy the stuff from Solms.
