Hello Tom, The lenses you mention are exactly the lenses I kept, waiting for an R 10 to come. Meanwhile I use the DM-R. It should not that difficult anymore to create a R10 when you look at the M9. Amazingly Leica is now able to produce a full frame rangefinder camera and even more amazingly is the fact they can deliver this camera very soon after the introduction. The hope rises for a FF- LEICA-R 10 !

Yeah they'd probably sell a 28-90 af, perhaps an 80-200 af to go with the new bodies, but most would keep their MF 19, 21, 60, 80, 100, 180 Summicron, 280, 400, etc. Tom __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
