:-) My primary and preferred 35mm system cameras for most of the time from 1968 to 2001 were Nikon SLRs and Leica RFs. While I've owned and used successfully a lot of other SLR system cameras, if I felt I needed to move to another SLR system again it would be to Nikon and the D700 body at present. I know their lenses are up to the task. But lately I'm thinking mobility more and more, and wanting smaller, less intrusive cameras and lens kits. That's what got me going for the Ricoh GXR. Once the M-lens module ships, I'll likely be working with two or three M-bayonet lenses most of the time and will be in the market for a Leica M again at some point down the line. I'm not ready to dispense with SLRs entirely yet, but I see the time is coming as the mirrorless world ramps up in responsiveness. The quality is already there. And, like Cotty and others, I can't see any TTL system being the same thing as a coupled optical rangefinder system: they are just different beasts. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
