I think that this would benefit Leica by the increased They can't do the 15 even if they wanted. It's a Zeiss lens. ;-) As for your idea, it's a good one, except for the expense of converting it would probably be as much as an R8! And they are too small to do multiple mounts. And other cameras have physical characteristics that would make it impossible. Such as the EOS1n. Except for with the Zorkendorfer adapter which lets you use any Leica lens on an EOS1n, but only wide open, I believe. ========= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO Mi.caw.ber n [Wilkins Micawber, character in the novel David Copperfield (1849-50) by Charles Dickens : 1852] : one who is poor but lives in optimistic expectation of better fortune
