Oh that was an M8 shot, but same glass and resolution of course.
Vick on the other hand, the R9/DMR of course will do things that the M's
cannot as you know and you are happy it and the APO 100 etc. I would be too!
But realistically how much money would you receive for the 50, 35 and 80? It
seems to me that the most desired lenses, like the APO100 have retained good
value but the 50 and 35 at least might not have? Other R owners would be
better informed there and might comment though?
My advice given that you have a camera for them AND the rare DMR, keep those
three as well and enjoy them whenever you choose.

Cheers
Geoff
