Well, I do use Leica M as well as Pentax ... but I still need an SLR system for those shots that are difficult or impracticable with a rangefinder camera - basically anything needing a telephoto >90mm, macro and architectural shooting and anything where I need to see the depth of field in the viewfinder. I do like the Carl Zeiss manual focus lenses for Contax but even that brand is offering two separate, totally incompatible 35mm film SLR systems! ;-) John
