I will enquire about the Elpro tomorrow when I re-visit the Leica dealer. I must admit, now I have looked more seriously at the R8, I am astounded by some of the prices. For example, £1,000 for a 2X extender is stratospheric compared to any other make of extender. There must be something in there to justify the cost but I just can't find it right now.
