	Shutterbug: Making A Spectacle Of Themselves
		All right: it’s not hard to see why you might need “spectacles” versions of both 35mm and 135mm lenses, and then there are the vanishingly rare (and non-Leica-built) “spectacles” 21mm lenses that call up the 35mm frame on everything except an M3 (which hasn’t got one) and convert it to a 21mm field of view.
		Unlike the “spectacles” versions of the 35mm and 135mm lenses, where the “spectacles” are fixed, the “spectacles” on a 50mm f/2 “spectacles” or close-focusing Summicron are removable, and are added only for close focusing, when they are clipped on to the top of the lens like high-precision pince-nez spectacles.
		Summiluxes (f/1.4) which are relatively rarely encountered in “spectacles” form, tend to go for more of a premium as compared with their non-“spectacles” sistren, so look in the $1000-$2000 region.

	Tertullian's Letter on Spectacles
		So, if it shall be proved true that the entire apparatus of the spectacles originates from idolatry, we will have reached a decision in advance that our profession of faith in baptism refers also to the spectacles, since they belong to the Devil and his pomp and his angels because of the idolatry involved.
		The pageantry is likewise the same, inasmuch as a procession is held to the theater from the temples and altars, with that whole wretched business of incense and blood, to the tune of flutes and trumpets, under the direction of the two most polluted masters of ceremonies at funerals and sacrifices: the undertaker and soothsayer.
		But there are yet other spectacles to come--that day of the Last Judgment with its everlasting issues, unlooked for by the heathen, the object of their derision, when the hoary age of the world and all its generations will be consumed in one file.

		LOS ANGELES — Looking at winners of the best-director category at the Academy Awards over the past decade is a study in extremes.
