Back to the Leica CL. When I listed it I mentioned items I'd be interested in trading
for. The CL was gone by the time Nick checked in with his massive accumulation
of Mamiya Auto XTL gear.
But, being weak I couldn't pass it up. We agreed on a (very reasonable) price, and
it arrived in a box I could fit myself into. He had the body, 1.4 & 1.8 50s, 28/2.8
60/2.8 macro (sweet!), 105/2.8, 135/2.8, and a rather intimidating looking 90-230
zoom.
I know, my cardinal sin here is that it isn't RF equipment, and I know that makes me
impure, but it's big, beautiful, classic, all metal gear, and we will never see its like
again.
Nick is great to communicate with, just shoot the breeze, whatever. We exchanged
several emails and I found all to be informative.
As Samuel Johson said "Money is like muck, not good lest it be spread".
Thanks for a great deal, and thanks for being a friend.
