I was wondering if there might be any other R8 owners on >list and if their dealers informed them of this promotion? There is no such deal on R8 purchases in Belgium. Official price around here is about 101000 BEF which amounts to more or less 2885 USD for the body. According to Leica's distributor in Belgium, conversion of "old" lenses to ROM equipped ones would cost around 3000 BEF per lens (90 USD).
