I think you missed the boat on cheap R lenses some time back anyway (with the Canon option) Probably you wouldn't buy one just to use a couple of short R lenses, Vick??? But what about those folks with a cupboard full of the magnificent long APO Summicron Rs etc?' My initial impression is that M shooters with a lot of M lenses and still some of the top line R ones might find this attractive? I bet that Leica sells all of the M's they can make but only a handful of the R stuff for them though. Starting from scratch it wouldn't make sense to buy into this system. The full frame Nikons (or Canon I guess?) with dedicated AF lenses make more sense for most folks... but then Leica enthusiasts aren't most folks ;-) Interesting that all but one R lens owner I know so far is not overly impressed. Back in 2009 when I was in Germany, Stefan Daniel said there would be no R10 or conventional dSLR from them but there would be a means to use R lenses, Still true. Anyone else notice the new S as well???? Cheers, Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 18 September 2012 10:34, Vick Ko <vick.ko at sympatico.ca> wrote: > So, did the price of DMR's just plummet?
