You're correct. 😉

 

[paulfish4570]

thank you. that means something 6:45 p.m. in germany, right? seems awfully late for the news cycle ...

 

[OlliL]

Yes it's pretty late, but at least I can follow it from home then 😀

Black versions are to be "revealed" always after the sunset..

 

[paulfish4570]

har! so if we can't see it, it must be wonderful. i reckon that knocks in the head the idea that leicas are jewelry ... 🙂

Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream ...

Everyone get in the lotus position and repeat after me: "Solms ... Solms ... Solms... "

Funny! That's a good one...

😛

At my age, the lotus position is not possible...but I can relax and chant.🙂

 

[paulfish4570]

ha! another good one ...

Thanks ... was feeling a little bit 'Leitz-hearted' this morning. (groan)

You're correct. 😉

Great!

Looking forward to a new 50/2 summicron. Here's hoping they announce one and without a crazy price increase. Who wants to buy my 50/2 hex, 90/2.8 hex, leica r8 and 90 summicron-r? 🙂

Ok, went out to buy some beer and a bottle of wine to enjoy and celebrate Leica Soap Day. Guess what? I had to pay €10.10 ... if that's not a sign I don't know what is.
