dimensions and mount to preclude any adaption of Nikkor lenses. Some of the
early R lenses were not as good as the better of the Nikkors.

The Nikon mount was developed long before Leica ever thought of
making an R camera lens. The fact that Leica R lenses don't fit on
Nikon bodies appears to be a Leica lens problem and not a Nikon body
problem.
I bought the Nikon D200 when it first came out. I have not had 1
seconds worth of problems with it. On the other hand. The M8, which I
love and use all the time, has locked up a few times and also gives
me weird WB photos from time to time. I have learned to live with them.

Len
