2 R3's, R8, R8 with DMR and all of my R glass I've purchased used. No  
uncertainty. The lenses will last the rest of my life. I have no  
doubt the R8 and R8/DMR will also outlast me. What's the problem? If  
Leica never comes out with another R body - what's the problem with  
the stuff you have and inventory available on a good, solid used  
market? Sorry. I just don't get it.

If you feel less "uncertain" in the Nikon "forever" better and better  
world - that's just fine. Enjoy. The image, after all, is all that  
really matters. And for that - all you need is an oatmeal box and  
some tin foil. ;~)
