I'm in love with them and wish I had the time and money to buy and use them all. Each seems to have it's own character. My problem is that since I "rediscovered" Leica last year, after a long absense, I'm falling out of love with my Nikon F4 and family of 8 lenses. I'd trade the whole lot in in a flash to be able to use Leica lenses on an SLR (where I still do most of my work -- landscape and nature -- but I haven't been able to get excited about Leica R bodies. Every now and then I'll drop into a camera store and spend a while playing with a R6.2, but each time I walk away disappointed. They just don't have the "feel" that I want. My F4, bruser that it is, handles like a charm and has all the "features" one could want -- even though I use it in manual everything mode 90% of the time. Now if there was a way to put Leica lenses on an F4 body........ Michael At 10:37 AM 26/03/96 -0500, you wrote: > >The only difference I can tell.......is when I compare 'em with ANYTHING >else.
