(I don't have my big Webster here.) I have to admit that I, also, missed the spelling error. This is because there is so much bad spelling and grammar in this computer age. I probably will never get the R8, or R7, because their computer codes may contain spelling errors. I have heard that the older lenses can be "upgraded" to the R8 standard. However, there is an incompatibility between the older two cams and new ROM module. Frankly, I never expected this sort of thing from Leica. My "diesel" 180mmm Elmarit still only has two cams and will probably never see the ROM. Somehow, I trust mechanical cams more than puny microcicuits whose settings might be altered by alpha particles, EMPs, and the like. Just kidding... How is the light in Arizona? Have you made any decisions in regard to using your 100mm APO with 2X APO? Best regards, Chris At 05:40 PM 2/9/97 -700, you wrote: >> "Stripped" golf shirt?
