David Farkas in his blog, http://dfarkas.blogspot.com/ said the R10 would most
likely be coming early 2010.
That pushed me to just buy a Nikon D700, as I did not want to wait that long.
Apart from the Leica R (and M) lenses, I still have numerous Nikkors that had
been laying dormant for years. Even the very old ones I had bought for my first
Nikon F nearly 50 years ago are working fine on it, including focus
confirmation, and I am very pleased with the results.
I still have the R9+DMR, but carry it around less and less because of its
weight.
For traveling, I have now adopted the M8. Most of the time I use the fabulous
Nikkor 4/20mm of 1974 vintage bought second hand on ebay. Being a retrofocus
design, it suffers less from the magenta cast problem and I do not have to use
an IR-filter.
