> Gene,

The Nikon mount was developed long before Leica ever thought of  
making an R camera lens. The fact that Leica R lenses don't fit on  
Nikon bodies appears to be a Leica lens problem and not a Nikon body  
problem.

I bought the Nikon D200 when it first came out. I have not had 1  
seconds worth of problems with it. On the other hand. The M8, which I  
love and use all the time, has locked up a few times and also gives  
me weird WB photos from time to time. I have learned to live with them.

Regards,
Len
