[Leica] M8 Should Follow D200 for lens selection

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

You hit the nail on the head. Leica loses a lot of revenue by adding  
a simple menu item and firmware algorithm. The only reason I bought  
my D200 was to use my non-cpu lenses. Before I upgrade my M lenses I  
would wait and see how effective the coding is. It may or may not be  
worth it.
