You don't need Keppler. (a proponent of $149 plastic bodies and 28-1000 f9.8 Korean lenses)... you'll see why PHOTOGRAPHERS use RFs......(I don't know why the other 90% of Leica owners own them, tho....) You'll see the difference.....and it AIN'T lens quality. (although Leica lenses are nice) Good weekend to ya'll from the big state, Walt In Denton, Tx.
