Foolishly or not, I have taken up Ted's challenge. ;-) Working flawlessly so far, but sure wish I had a second one, so I would not have to change lenses so often. I keep trying to talk SWMBO into letting me get another at Photokina, but so far she just smiles... ;-) I will also add my wife has brought the D200 for her use. A question... What is a good price for a used 80/1.4 Summilux R? It is not a ROM version, but is in very good condition. I am thinking of buying it if the price is right.
