The stuff Leica is producing today is better than the old stuff. Period. 100 apo macro. 280 f/4 apo telyt 70-180 2.8 (so where's the old fast zoom? Or any zoom from the old days that comes close?) 21 2.8 ASPH (better than ANY other 21 ever) 35 Summilux ASPH (best 35 in the world except maybe the Summicron ASPH) The bean counters have not trashed Leica. Leica is doing the best work in its history. Stick with the old stuff if you must, but stop trashing equipment you've never used. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch My Karma ran over my Dogma..
