Isn't that where the sun usually rises there?  Or maybe I'm thinking of
something else - oh yeah, it's when you flush the toilet and it goes
backwards.  Sorry.

I think I just saw the sun rise in the west .What's that!!!?? Ted is being a
technical geek talking about lens qualities!!! We all know perfectly well
that Ted could shoot with the bottom of a Coke bottle on his camera and make
great pictures. Now Dr T, next time we get together I'll give you the new
Summilux 35 ASPH on it to try out. You could try it on the new M!

I had an opportunity to try some art nudes with professional models and was
very impressed with how well the 35 worked (on my M9) in the very makeshift
mini studio space. 

This is BW of course but don't look if nudity offends.

how could you????? My heart is bleeding as I consider it the best 35mm lens
around and will put mine-up against any Leica or other manufactured 35 lens
on the market.

hate yourself for selling it. It's super fast to focus and cuts images like
a 100,000 brand new razor blades!
