I don't see how C or N can change their body to make the lens not work, else the C or N lenses in the field would not work on the changed body. Of course the reverse engineering has to be right but how much stuff can there be communicated between a lens and camera. New C or N lenses can of course have new features not found in the older lens but to make old lenses stop working? No. F?lix L?pez de Maturana wrote: > I think Leica could easily do what Sigma/Cosina/Tamron are doing-by > licensing or reverse engineering- if they abandon the philosophy of > excellence.
