If you are correct, then it is all the more reason that they could have come out with AF in the R8. I couldn't imagine why they would give Contax such a lead in manufacturing the system. It can only cost Leica market share. Well, maybe they will come out soon with an R9(?) with it. Brian Levy, J.D. Toronto, Ont. dlevy@worldy.com
