[Leica] FOM 2 & LEICA - EOS MARRIED.

[firkin at ncable.net.au (Alastair Firkin)]

Great Ted, we have always allowed hybrids, as long as the camera or 
lens was Leica. Of course when we started, we had no idea that the 
marriage would be between Canon SLR's and Leica, but that's evolution I 
suppose.
Have a great Christmas and don't forget that voting commitment ;-)


Cheers
