Although I do not own a screw-mount camera, I am a regular user of both the 65mm Elmar-V and 200mm Telyt-V. Both are great lenses and I am sure that so are other screw-mount lenses. If Leica continues on this course, they will be no different than Cannon, Nikon, and others. I don't mind not having specials. That is a justified business decision. However, not supporting screw-mount equipment is tantamount to a break with tradition. This is very bad. If fixing screw-mount gear does not pay, then change the fee structure. Anyway, Ernst Hartmann from Leica NJ told me a similar story recently. Best regards to all.
