Replying to myself again.
What the hell? I pulled the trigger after all. It's only money, and I won't
live forever, except I went for the 50 f/1.4 Summilux-M, at nearly twice the
price. I can't take it with me, and my kids don't need it. Something I've
always wanted, though I may never have but one lens, but some of the best
pictures I've ever taken were made with a 50mm. And I've always loved
rangefinder cameras, which is probably why I've got so many Graphics and
Graflex XLRF's.
