[LRflex] Re: DMR Question - Adaptall mount lenses

Peter,
There are a lot of people, myself included, who still use whatever 
they've collected over the years, sometimes with astounding results :-)
If I ever did think of buying a DMR (and an R9 to put it on) it would 
definitely be perfect for my modest collection of Leica lenses but I 
would sorely miss the possibility of using my excellent Zeiss lenses 
(and Pentax, Yashica, and, and......) on it.
cheers
Douglas
