What with all the talk of using R lenses on Canon EOS's, I was wondering if there is a Leica/Contax converter; then we could use our R lenses on the (admittedly bulky) AX.... Rather than go out and buy yet another set of incredibly expensive lenses... Calm down! It was only a rhetorical question!!!!! On another flammable note, I would just like to relate an incident that happened to me while shooting with my Mamiya 7 in Suzhou, China...I had been taking pictures of the various gardens and pagodas in that city with my 43mm, apparently oblivious to tiny droplets of sap that had been floating down from the trees.... This was one of those situations where I was very very glad, in retrospect, that I had covered that expensive lens with a UV filter. The filter itself was ruined (B&W); I could not find anything that would get that crap off (although we can't get ROR in Hong Kong......maybe that would have worked). You just never know when something like that is going to strike, although it may be more of an issue to those of us who live farther south than most. Just something to think about............
