Pascal, Two reasons why there is no sensor in the 70-180 1) would have added too much to the cost and Leica was trying to keep prices down on this lens. :) 2) Due to the smallness of this lens there was no room in it for the added sensor. :) Plus the added .0005 kg weight was considered to be a detriment, afraid this may be the straw that would break the camel's back. :) Best regards, Harrison McClary http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto preview my book: http://www.volmania.com mailto:hmcclary@earthlink.net Everyone has a photographic memory, some just don't have film.
