Thanks Axel.
Of course if you go the way of Leitax it allows you the flexibility of choosing between Leica and some great Nikon alternatives for future purchases for your kit, eg., Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 ED as an alternative to the Leica 80-200m f4.0. 
As an aside, does anyone have any experience with this Nikon lens?

Hi Walter
thank you for the pics
i have put this 80-200 on my wanting list, but not on top of it. It would be rather something in the far future for use on my R3, because it would be expensive to make a "nikon" out of it , it seems ... 
greetings from Belgium, Axel

Good evening,
Not everyone's taste I am sure but here is set taken from a bench at a shop front. All the passers by were within a metre of the camera. Max aperture was too slow for this kind of work. For those interested, Leica-R 35-70mm F4.0 on a Sigma SD14.

By the way Axel I can absolutely confirm what others have said about the 80-200mm f4.0. I purchased one not long ago partly based on comments here. I have not been disappointed, in fact the lens continues to surprise. Here are a couple of low resolution scans: (35mm B&W) using that lens.
