Or, if you like Konica, get an Auto S3. Wonderful camera, wonderful lens- awesome size.

Hi, my name is Bob and you should know that the Konica RF is not

compatible

with Leica lenses. The flange to focal plane distance is different.

I think I'm about to buy a Konica Hexar RF, as I saw one in Chicago over

the

Thanksgiving break and was smitten with it. I used to shoot Leicas (M6

and

M4), CLE, and the original Hexar, and the Hexar RF seems to combine a

lot

of

the best features of each. Also, my first camera was a Konica T3,

purchased

as a gift from my father when I was 16, so I have a soft spot (in my

heart,

not in my head <g>) for Konica.
