Hi Charlie,
   I very much 'knew' they were high performance beasts of lenses, but exactly like your sig line says - One Test is Worth a 1000 Opinions. There is nothing like the emotionally and intellectually enriching experience of actually putting one of these lenses to use. Simply buying into the words or images from someone else doesn't reach into your spirit or your soul in the same manner as seeing or watching those lenses affect the images you make yourself.

Yeah Yeah - I know, I'm preaching to the choir here. LOL

To use an analogy you might like Charlie - The Step Up from my Zeiss Pancolar to the Summicron/Elmarits was like going from a P-51 Mustang to a F-18 Hornet. They're both special stuff, but one brings a whole lot more to the flying game :-).

Richard,
   Interesting Analogy.
   P-51 drivers might argue with you about which is more fun, but
the F-18 will get the MiG. :-)
   One has to remember the finders of the Leica cameras like the
M and SL connect the great lenses to your mind and soul like
nothing else.
