OK maybe a couple of hundred more. I was thinking "wait! there's still time!". I'll get to Leica R in the last act. My guess is the Nikon 60 will be great and the Leica 60 greater. I'll do a direct comparison test when i do get the MACRO-ELMARIT. IN the meantime this Nikor 60 is one cool lens. Heavy. Long. Heavier than the 85 1.8 by quite a bit. AF is good with a lens like this because you can stick your arm into a bush and snap one and pull it out and it had focused perfectly on the bee that was in there. Oh the built in flash i handy for those shady bushes. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabinergroup.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
