[LRflex] Re: Erwin Puts on the DM-R

Hi Neil:  An interesting case could be made for Leica becoming a "lens only" 
company ( as has Tamaron and Sigma for example ).  However, as others have 
posted, competing companies will discourage the sale of Leica lenses for use 
in their cameras by making cleaver changes in the way that such Leica lenses 
interact with their cameras ( speaking mainly of digital SLR cameras of 
course ).  Such changes will negate the full functionality and use of such 
Leica lenses with the bodies in question.  Of course, as has been amply 
documented by others, one can still use Leica lenses with diminished 
"funtionality" and gain wonderful results, but the less astute and 
experienced users will certainly vote for full feature(d) use of their gear, 
and spurn Leica lenses for Canon, Nikon, or whatever.
