Personally, I want the Euro to collapse against the dollar so I can afford to buy some of the cool new lenses that Leica has just come out with...  :-)

That's the spirit!

A vivid image of what should exist acts as a surrogate for reality. Pursuit of the image then prevents pursuit of the reality -- John K. Galbraith

Yes, but friend wife only allows new lens purchases upon the arrival of a new child. Last new child was 23 years ago, so my most recent lens is the old pre-aspheric 35mm f/1.4...

With some luck, a grandchild will appear at some point thus allowing additional transfer of dollars to Europe...

Well, my most recent one is an Elmarit 135mm f/2.8 bought around 1976...

I'm hoping it settles around 1.25 so I have enough money left for the Paris 09 eurotrib meetup...
