Nathan ............. box up and send me your M6TTL with nice latter day
Summicron or Summilux. Keep your E420. You'll have more shelf space and
fewer chattels on your home insurance policy to mention just a few
advantages of parting with yesterday's technology. Win win for both of
us.
Waddya say :-)
