Pascal, I would like a few fast f/2.8 zooms, such as 17-35/2.8 and 28(35)-70/2.8, which Leica have not been able to provide, and it is unlikely they will offer any in the foreseeable future. They claim cost is the issue and I tell them is doesn't have to be.... I am going through mid-life crisis with severe Leicaholism and my biological clock is ticking.... but Leica won't let me spend my hard-earned money. I think I will go back to EOS, I heard they have some new lenses coming out.... , all fast zooms with IS/USM/LD/ASPH/IF etc. etc.! ;-) Cheers, Joseph
