To me it makes sense to get a dirt cheap Yashica camera body and put a quality Zeiss lens for it. Not the other way around. That's what makes sense to me. Glass. The body stops the film from fogging. Gives you a place to keep your film between exposures. Your glass is everything." I strongly agree with you Mark and I wonder why Leica cannot supply lenses in other mounts! There are over there some very nice bodies with the last technology available, and I do not mention any of them avoiding flames, which will excel with a Leica lens! Specially in SLR field. This could be a huge opportunitty for new busines fro Leica. I always thought the same referring Carl Zeiss. Just the opposite people generally does: buying a nice body and complementing with rather poor third manufacturer lenses. I do not know Soligor, some supplier than Cosina but I thinkt some lenses from Tamron are rather good, specially the macro one and the 28-105 mm f1:2,8 which I tested with very good result. Kind regards Félix
