I'd call that something else. > Mark Rabiner Actually the appropriate terminology for "something else" is "the last straw." I wanted to use a combination of EOS glass (70-200 f4 and 300 f4) with R glass (60mm Macro, 90mm Elmarit, 19mm Elmarit and a to be purchased 35mm Summilux) with an EOS 3, EOS RT and Leicaflex SL, however the 19mm doesn't work on either EOS body nor on the SL. The 19mm R is a spectacular lens and with the 70-200 would have been the two most utilized pieces in my bag. When I realized the 19mm wouldn't work on the EOS (knowing already it doesn't fit the SL), the decision to dump the R gear was the logical thing to do. Mark, thank you again for clarifying this matter. Gary - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
