But you'll need a zooming viewfinder, which some do exist, I do belive, but they're manual. Talk about compromises! <g> My point was your blanket statement that using a zoom is an optical compromise was what I was challenging, not the fact that it might or might not be right for you. But the snobbery, or appreciation for quality that exists for Leica M users is about the same as for the R users. In fact, more so, because the R has some lenses that are as good or better than anything in the M system. Snobbery knows no bounds! :-) -- Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR
