A nocti with AF would be in the $20K range.,,,,, if they could do it....

> I thought about it - but decided it was too heavy and limiting for my
preferred subjects - wildlife and people on the streets. That is why I would
love a M10 with autofocus and halfway decent low light performance. I would
even buy new lenses for it, can you believe! (-:

Careful Jayanand!
Should there ever be an AF M - the new AF lenses will be $4000 - $5000 a
piece, I would guess, and to get a bag full covering the usual 18mm to 135mm
range will cost $25,000 to $30,000.
Maybe better just to wait and see what a D800 will cost. :-) Cheers Howard
