I can't believe I won!!!

[x-ray]

Well today seemed like any other day untill 5:15 this afternoon. A few weeks ago I had entered a raffel with the Leica Historical Societies annual contest. I've been a member off and on for afout thirty five years and have entered the raffel many times. I purchased a book of 5 raffel tickets and sent them in. This afternoon I received a call that I had won 2nd prize, a new LHSA hammertone MP .72x with 35 F2 summicron asph and leicavit winder. I darn near fell in the floor! I just had to share the great news.

All fine prizes! Wow, it's nice to have some luck like that!

My gosh, what a hell of a second place prize though...I mean, we are talking about an AWESOME prize you got there. Not only a stupendous camera, but a stupendous lens (and then they throw in the Leicavit on top of it).

And, I just looked up the uncommon (dare I say rare) hammertone versions. Talk about BEAUTIFUL finishing! And virtually unscratchable! Wow.

Total congratulations. I feel your elation somehow.

That's wonderful. Now, you have a naughty 35mm Summilux that is just itching to come live with my other lenses

 

[einolu]

btw, is the lens in hammertone too?
