Robert, so Nikon is out, but Canon is ok?  Which other ones will be ok?  How
about the Holga 
Sorry, couldn't resist given the two posts so close together. :->

I don't mean to offend anybody in particular, but can we keep the Nikon topics
on a Nikon list.  I don't mind the occassional Nikon question, but can the
replies be sent to the original poster rather than the whole list. I myself
not coming to the Leica R or M via Nikon, have very little interest in this
stuff.  I assume there are others like myself on the list.

<< I had an Eos Elan IIe system before, (my Wife uses it now),  but did not
have any of their exotic lenses.  I would gladly compare the EOS to the Leica,
but nobody would be interested.  I just get the feeling that the Nikon users
are as fanatical about their system as the Leica users.  I was really not that
excited about my EOS though.  When I got an R camera and a few reasonably fast
prime lenses, I wondered why I was using an EOS with F4-5.6 lenses.  If I got
the equivalent fast primes for the Canon, they would have cost more than the
ones I bought used for the Leica.  At one point, I wanted to do some Nature
and sport photography and decided to get a 400 2.8.  I would have been happy
with the EOS 400, but the Leica was cheaper than the Canon 400, if I factored
in buying a EOS 1N.  I stayed with the Leica and I am glad because I like the
lenses I have.
