That's my two cents. ====================================================== I think for the centennial it should be 100% Leica, but I want to put in a good word for Leica bodies. I had a Nikon S2 once, but I greatly prefer the ergonomics of M Leicas to other rangefinders. The quiet, RF M bodies are what attracted me to Leica photography, not the lenses. Much of what I shoot has to be done with Nikkor or Canon LTM lenses, since I have only been able to afford those or pre-1960 used Leitz glass, but for this celebration I would use only Leica lenses. No non-Leica digital please (for this collection). Besides: Leica = LEItz CAmera; not Leile (LEItz LEns) ;~) SMILEY Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer UPAA POY 1978 University Information Technology Services University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/
