Subject: 11 contacts on the R8 !!!

Luggers,

I have just discover that on the new Leica-R lenses with electrical
contact, there is 11 contacts (9 on the back & 2 on the bayonet).
The Nikon AF lenses have only 5 contacts and 8 in the body.

It is difficult to believe that those 11 contacts are only for the
transmission of the focal length to the Flash zoom.


What do you think ??
