Jim, There are moderately priced, new, SLRs available now. A titanium SLR that matches the Limited lenses in build quality and appearance would be a welcome addition, in my estimation. However, a titanium DSLR that matches the Limited lenses would be even nicer. I just wish the black Limited lenses were available in the US. I haven't check recently to see if B&H or Adorama are carrying them so, if they are, just ignore this last.
