Zeiss is back making excellent RF lenses, Cosina continues to make great lenses. I've even picked up some Pentax and Rollei modern LTM glass in the last year or so. I'm well stocked with film and plan to continue shooting it as long as I can with the added ability to scan the images to my PC. Being a gearhead and film user, I like to read and participate in these posts. The new M8 seems to have brought a fair number of former Leica RF photog's back to the List. I don't always participate in the digital stuff but at least they are about Leica digital cameras which I always enjoy reading about. Greg J. Lorenzo Calgary, Alberta
