Ohhh... I want one of these... I've only ever heard good things about them.
Only I might even want the GR21 a bit more...

OK, I'd want the MP and the Summi 35/2.0. Got the Summi 50/2.0 and 90/2.0
already...

Hmm... guess I'll need to look for a 180/2.8... but I have a Tokina
80-200/2.8 and a Vivitar Series 1 200/3.0 already... maybe I'm set?

Don't do much with video. A few years back I bought new a Canon Hi8
camcorder. Probably used it less than 15 hours total... now the viewfinder
(B&W video finder) doesn't work. I gather the capacitors on the finder video
boards leak after a while, and of course the parts are NLA for a 10-year old
model.

I'd want one of those too. I think it would be cool to scan the negatives
and print my own stereo cards, use them with one of those stereo viewers...

I don't carry a tripod anywhere, and I now have about 10 of them... go
figure...?!

I like the Summi 90/2.0, but its quite large for an RF lens... I also have
the 90/2.8 made for the CL and CLE, and its tiny by comparison. Some people
have good things to say about the Cosina/Voigtlander 75/2.5 lens...
