But I find drops in M prices a little puzzling. There is no digital product on the market that fills the market niche of the M cameras. Nothing close. One day sensor technology will advance to the point where it is possible to mount to build a digital body that will mount M lenses. I have been playing with an EOS 10D for a few weeks now. I just replaced my 17-35 to the 16-35, as the former lens' deficiencies became all too apparent on the digital body. The 16-35 is a little better, but they are both mediocre. I can't understand why these two lenses have become so popular. Convenience, I guess. That seems to be what is valued most today. - --Jim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
