And yes, George it ain't no 70-180 f2.8 (sold with the Leica kit) or 280 f4. (Hi Mr. Herr?.). I saw another forum opinion that the II has better color rendition than the III. I wonder. Also the electronics on the III fully support the newer 70-200 which I decided to buy with ill-gotten gains from the sale of my R8/9 and lenses kit. All so I could shoot photos that are in focus. Go figure... Also the III has a Fluoride Coating for those of us who just ate ribs or patates frites or massive burrito? Bob (Sun is still out this afternoon. We're all a little worried?)
