Subject: [Leica] what to do with FD after Leica

You could do what I just finished doing..... I sold every bit of my Canon FD
system... fortified my EOS/digital system with a few more bodies and lenses
and used the rest to buy a R8 and 80-200 f/4 Elmar.

My personal shooting kit will be that pair along with a M-6, the 24 M, the
35 M f/2 ASPH and a 50 M  Summicron which all fits easily in my Domke
803....   While my FD kit served me well and there were some really great
lenses in it...  it was a dead-end system for me and I got more money out of
it than I ever thought I would....  But then again I'd be bearish about
hanging on to FD equipment long term...
