  i can't put myself on the list either.  5-6 years ago i bought an 80 
lux-R and several other R lenses (from the LUG, as i recall) in no small 
part because the R lenses traded so cheaply relative to the 
corresponding M lenses and to me screamed value.  i did subsequently buy 
an SL2MOT but never did shoot much film.  the majority of my R-lens 
pictures were made on borrowed or rented canon dslrs.  the lenses are 
terrific.
