When it ceased to exist, they sent me something called Outdoor Photographer instead. There ain't much in that magazine for me, but one of the advertizers, Adorama, sells two screw-mount lenses, supplied with M-mount adapter, viewfinder and a lenshood - a 28/3.5 and a 21/2.8 - for prices far below the Leica lenses. I do not know what kind of lenses these are, or their origin. Can anyone tell med if these lenses are worth considering for serious photography? I suspect they won't deliever Leica quality, but a 21 mm for $800 don't sound so bad either. (Well, I should really know better. There are other lenses I have fooled myself into buying because it seemed such a good deal - but not so good on optical quality) Per Volledal pervo@powertech.no Stenfeltbakken 47 N-1405 Langhus Norway
