[Leica] Re: Re: So.. what is the deal with Alpa Cameras?

[creativevisions at verizon.net (Michael J Herring)]

I would like one of the later models such as the two you mentioned.
I am also looking for Leica-R lenses to use on my Canon 1dmk2.
I currently have  a Zeiss Contax RTS II and the original 25mm Distagon,
60mm
S-Planar and 85mm f1.4 Planar - made in West Germany and which were used
for
maybe 12 rolls of film and then never used again for the last 16 years.
I discovered large format in 1989 and never looked back.
Today I am a grandfather and looking for an outfit better suited to
photographing children, macro and travel.

Thanks for any suggestions you can offer,
Mike
