We should look at the situation from the bright side! Stopping the R-system
could indicate the R10 is not that far anymore.
I wonder when was the last time you bougt something new from Leica. Current
prices have dropped 20-40%!! Including bags, filters and other accessories.
(a new sunshade for your 2.8/400 can be bought for 299 instead 450 Eur
:-))))).
Assuming there is a new R10 on the horizon, and present lenses are
compatible with the new system, and you are still willing to wait, and pay
premium,..., these prices are a steal!
