Subject: [Leica] FS: RF Coupled SLR lens to Leica M Adapters

B.D., this has nothing to do with R.  There are a lot of diverse opinions 
among the participants of this list and among them are "it's the glass" and 
"the body is just a box" but these are by no means universally held 
opinions.  The current M4-2 discussion comes to mind.

Please, Doug - If you want to jump on me for my "vitriol" regarding the
R series, jump away - although you ought to look up "vitriol," read my
posts, and then reconsider your choice of words.
But to suggest with a straight face that there is no "mantra" on the
list regarding the importance of Leica glass really is pretty
ridiculous. :-)

Hard to say for sure... but I wasn't aware the list had a mantra.  It
seems there are a lot of people who want to get the most use out of the
equipment they have.  I consider the camera body as important as the
lens.
