Maybe I should give it a whirl since there's a couple of these SLs sitting in the second hand camera stores over here where i live. It would be a good chance to find out for myself wat exactly is the magic behind that viewfinder of the SL :) thanks for the info! :) boon hwee Several significant differences in the SL and M: much greater weight of the SL kit and inferior quality of the R wide angle lenses when compared to the M system. With all due respect to the SL, the SL compares to an M much like a mule compares to thoroughbred. Gary - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
