Even on the LUG, everyone has a right to his opinion & I dont consider a front engine Porsche to be a true classic Porsche either but it only a matter of semantics. Many Leica RF & Porsche rear engine devotees feel the same way and that is what Horse Racing Wagering is all about. There is a lot of space between here and there so as my niece used to say - "Shoot for the moon and even though you miss - you'll land on a star". ****************************Marvin Moss In a message dated 97-10-14 03:38:04 EDT, you write: << Marvin, that's exactly what I'm talking about. You used a SLR, not a Leica. The winders are different. And, a Leica has a viewfinder, no screen. Screen problems might occur, if you use a SLR from Leitz GmbH or try to switch a Leica into a SLR e.g. by the Visoflex.
