The lenses are chump change too and for pretty good glass. You could
just got some big zooms which would not be cheap if you got the 2.8's
fixed but 1,2 or 3 would do the trick. F 68.4 mm and be there!!!!

I got the 60 macro equalling 90 my big focal length as a money maker on
the white backdrop instead of a medium zoom or 50.
It goes new for what the 60 Leica goes for used almost. (Both macro's).
We hope we don get to involved before the LEica dig back comes out. I
love the photoshop mock up! Do we get a R8 while we can afford it as a
carrier for that back? Is it still cheap? I'd kill for the 9 which i
found to be not light. I found the MP to be a ton..... of
delightfulness.  Now do i have any money??????
