It seems to me that if the purpose of this list is honest to God to discuss photography, and the use of Leicas in photography, then this thread might have long ago turned to the subject of what camera and lens one might best add to one's kit to allow one to have a high quality 35-70 2.8 zoom, as Leica doesn't manufacture one, and has no intention of doing so. Going on and on about how "we" can get them to make it is quite silly, and has far more to do with egos, wallets, and God - the real one - knows what else than it has to do with Leicas and photography. But that is just my humble - honest - opinion as someone who belongs to this list as there are some interesting discussions of photography and assessments of equipment on it, and it has been a good place to meet and get to know people with interests similar to mine. B. D. Who always has, and always will, believe that a Leica is a tool used in making photographs. Period. Just a tool. A good tool, but one of many in the tool box.
