Thank you Doug
your pictures are proof enough for me.
If the DMR would not be discontinued, it certainly would be an option for
me. Instead i decided to buy Nikon for my digital needs, and use the Leitax.
(i made this decision after debating it on this list, help from you guys for
which i still am grateful)
greetings, Axel
