Not quite my situation. I owned Leica gear for many years prior to the digital era, only reason I sold it was that at the time (2001-2002) there was no confidence that Leica itself would survive at all *and* no good confidence that it would even be possible to make these lovely lenses work correctly with a digital sensor. AND there was the opportunity to sell off my Leica gear and buy into a Hassy Superwide and 500C/M setup, something I'd always wanted to try. I've simply returned to where I was a decade ago with the acquisition of the M4-2 and M9. Where I was a decade ago, albeit then with all Leica lenses at 1/4 the price it would cost me now. It will take a while to afford all the same lenses again if I find I really need/want them. -- 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.
