Re: [Leica] Re: Macro on SL

Hello Muhammad:

Thanks for the advice.  You're the second person to recommend the 60/2.8
Macro-Elmarit-R lens.  I've decided to wait a little while and learn to
use the SL with the 50mm Summicron-R.  Actually, after spending a lot of
money on lenses for my Rollei 6008, I HAVE to wait.

Jim
