A couple of days ago someone sold an R8, Vario Elmar 80-200/4 and 28-70/3.5-4.5 for EUR 1000. There's a similar offer, but including a Summicron 50/2 now ... This seems incredibly good value to me but a) I already have an R7 and SL2, neither of which I use much since I prefer my Contax RTS II + Planar 85/1.4 and I'm using an M3 and M7 for the Leica kick anyway, b) it's an early R8 (SN 241xxxx) so I don't know if this would work with a DMR or if it would have reliability problems... c) I've already used up this month's playing money on an M lens d) I wish zoom lenses were f/2 and not f/4.5 Arrrgh. Seems such a pity to let it go though. colin ------ Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: http://www3.telus.net/~telyt/lrflex.htm Archives are at: //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/
