Even today, they're built pretty good in the AF configurations. But every single Leica lense is built to last, and the person I was addressing was wondering if it's safe to buy used Leica. And I wouldn't match an R4 against an R8, either, much less an F4/5/3/2. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch I am Homer of Borg, prepare to be assim...ooh, donuts!
