Hmmmm, just checked Ebay for prices on this 5D body. For the Mk 2 one can get one for $2k new. For the 5D, around $1k+ used. To me, it doesn't seem that attractive given that the leica lenses won't stop down automatically. As I said, I could live with the rest. It does sound like a very fine digital body, though. Thanks for your help.

I know, shoot wide open all the time....
