It's essentially a Leica M240 without the 6-bit lens code reader and with Zenit software. The only lens profiles that are in the camera are only for the three Zenit made lenses: 35/1.0, 50/1.0 and 21/2.8. If you use any other Leica M-mount lens, the camera will not do automatic corrections. The only lens listed for sale, and only as a kit with the camera, is the 50/1.0. Notice the wording... MADE BY LEICA........ No one AFAIK is shipping a 35 F1.0 lens.... Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net I don't doubt that the Russians can make a similar camera technologically, whether the lens is as good may be a different question. However if they are simply rebadging someone else's lenses it might not be bad. Peter
