You've got to watch it when it comes to R equipment, though. Years ago I bought an SL with 50/2 because it was a good deal and I always wanted to try R equipment. Next thing I knew I had a fairly extensive R system. When I sold it (because I had a lot of overlap with Contax) I sold every piece of R gear I had. I knew that keeping one piece would draw me back in. Now I'm buying R lenses again. I knew I shouldn't have kept the extension tube!!!!
