And the R8 is just not a good ergonomic or economic fit for me. I simply love the 19mm R, but am having difficulty finding a suitable body for it. My SL is being checked over by Sherry right now. Will the early version 19mm R fit the SL? I know the later version does not, which was part of my rationale for starting this whole Leica R-Canon EOS thing for me anyway. Maybe I'd be better off just slapping the 19mm R on my M7. Gary - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
