Subject: [Leica] R Lens info needed

Thanks Doug,

I will most likely get the 60/2.8, and if the 100 is priced right maybe it 
also.  The local camera shop here has received some Leica R4's with lenses , 
100/4 (3), 60/2.8, and 24/2.8, bellows and extension tubes from the 
University of Iowa to sell.  The R4's I don't need but the 100 & 60 with 
tubes would be good to latch onto it the price is right, I will find out 
about the price tomorrow.

Gene
