I will stick to the 35-70 f4.0 and instead will get the HASSELBLAD 60-120 fe zoom (i know for a fact this is a better zoom than the leica one)!! ...and like Joseph, I am also disappointed @ leica for not being able to deliver!! in mid 70's leica was in trouble with technology and out of desperation, they partnered with Minolta on the R3 and the family. I wonder if they are @ that point again. they are very small and can not change either of the mount for a digital system, too small to do it by themselves and their current partner @ their best came up with the S1 ( a low end Nikon camera not able to accept all Nikon lenses). how are they going to pull out!! may be the current batch is truly collectible!! - ------------------------------------------- Thanks, Mehrdad > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of B.
