Mark continues "My guess 65 percent + would hold on and keep using their existing systems. Love that groundglass and what I do with it!" Well, my answer is no one will desert. One of the many problems Leica AG has with auto-focus is maintaining compatibility with older lenses. They do not, repeat, not want to alienate current customers, the way Contax just did.
