OK.  I didn't realize CAPS menat shouting, sorry.  Still learning e-mail
ettiquette.
I don't know about your R4 and lens at $5K, perhaps they were quoting list
price.
They seem to like the Ms, less the Rs.  I am not saying they are the perfect
source for test information, no one is, but at least they don;t pick all
german lenses as the #1 lens as other magazines do.  Think about it Eric.
If your happy with your R and lenses, great.  They have great glass.  But
realize, other lenses can take pictures too!  And in the end its the image
you get, not the clarity of it that sells.  So my image with say a Sigma
lens might make the front page, albeit not as sharp as your Leica shot.
