No problem. Sure, you can get a Nikon D700 plus a 50/1.4 for that price, but hey, it's a Leica. Just save up the pennies, and soon you can get the best 50/1.4 known to mortals. And so it goes for the 24/1.4. That must be the most brilliant piece of 24/1.4 out there, despite the fact that a D3+24/1.4+35/1.4 would cost less. But now Leica is giving us a choice!!! If you don't have that 24/1.4 already and are lusting for that magic 35ish view on your M8, you can get a M9 instead, just for a few thousand quids more!! And since the 35/1.4 is almost pedestrian, you should already have it in your bag (I know I do, the 1.4 ASPH sing sweetly to my ears). In 4 days, we will know. -- // richard m: richard @imagecraft.com // w: http://www.imagecraft.com/pub/Portfolio09/ blog: http://rfman.wordpress.com // book: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/745963
