Medium and long tele with the RD back will be ok. The issue with the RD back will be the same issue as with any less than full frame system, the multiplication factor and the difficulties with wide angle shooting. The rumored super wide angle lens (16mm, 17, 18, 19 anybody) designed for digital could be an acceptable stop gap solution until the full frame back is completed for the next R body, which will come sometime about 2006. 2006? Remember where you heard it first. :->) Gary - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
