D. Herb, B.D., Etc.... I don't know what the hell ya'll are talking about....whaddya mean "TWICE"???? Leica bodies are at least THREE times the price of the competition, which is bad enough, ....BUT!!!!<<<< the lenses are at least 4-5 times similar lenses made for other cameras....Pentax MF, Olympus, Nikon FM2, etc... Leica is a helluva lot better built, but how long am I gonna live to find out if it matters????? (My MF Nikkors should LONG outlast any of us...) I still only use the crap cuz it's a pro RF.....and no one else has one....yet... CU later, Walt - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
