[Leica] "The lifespan of a Leica...."

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Also my position.  I have invested in three Leica-R lenses to use on Oly 
digital bodies.  It's a compromise, but it works for me.  A couple of  Zuiko 
digital lenses also offer full automation when that is needed. Makes a nice 
kit.
