[LRflex] Re: More contRoversy!

Hi Jerry,
the 135 with the spectacles (also a late version) is my still favourite 
Tele on my M6,
Maybe the Leica R 135 is just a little less compatible with Canon 
Digital than the Zeiss lens.
The accent doesn't get lost - I get The Dalesman magazine every month :-)
