An issue is not to use my existing lens lineup of Nikkors..... but

At final decision point, a lot will depend on the price of the
R10......
If it is just too high for me, then a Nikon D something will be the
considered item.... if the price is affordable to me, then it is
R10 and
new ( used) lenses.
I doubt the R10 will be cheap. My guess is that it will be about
the same
as the M8.2, adjusted for dollar deflation.
I thought you'd never ask Doug... :-)
as long as we are guessing the eventual R10 cost, when it arrives
optimistically in 2010, or maybe later, I will guesstimate $10,
000-12, 000 USD, maybe more if it appears later...
I'll save this...

Any adapter out there will not allow for Auto-Aperture operation
using R
lenses.... which I think I am on record of stating is a deal
breaker for
me..... So there is no C or O body that will work, at this time.
Maybe
someone will invent a proper adapter to make the aperture
connections, but
time will tell.....
No argument from me re: auto-aperture function. Without a
breakthrough in
understanding the time/space continuum you will not see an adapter
to fit R
lenses on an EOS body that makes aperture connections. Very
unlikely there
will be an O body adapter to fit R lenses with the auto-aperture
connection, and there's that crop factor too.
I can not see changing to C or O and buying all new lenses made by
that
company. My existing Nikkors are as good. It would be smarter
for me
to
buy a D700 ( as you suggest) or a D3 or a D-whatever and use what I
have
for
lenses.
I agree. Or an older film R body & try a few R lenses. If they
work out
as well as you've expected, when the R10 becomes available the cash
outlay
would be only for the body, not body + lenses.
There is an underlying element here that I would also switch from
RF ( M6)
to SLR..... for most if not all my photography.
I'm curious why the switch, particularly since you're interested
more in
wides than in longs.
