Subject: [Leica] DMR versus Canon plus R lenses

LUG members,

As a user of R lenses on the 1Ds MkII I wanted to ask if there are any LUG 
members in the SF Bay Area who currently own/use the R9/DMR and would 
possibly entertain getting together for coffee and some photography? I would 
really like to try out the R9/SMR before investing in the hardware.

Thoughts and comments appreciated,

Wayne
