I am wondering if it's wise to get back into the R system. THe prices sound like the prices for equivalent lenses ($15,000 for a 400 2.8) today, so at least the prices are holding. So a used one shoud be $10,000. If I were a nature photographer, I think this system would be indispensible, because it's a lot lighter than carrying the equivalent in Nikon or Canon, and durn near the same price. Or close enough to justify buying Leica. Alas, I am not a nature photographer. Darn. If I get laid off, I might become one! :-) =========== Eric Welch Grants Pass, OR "More hay, Trigger?"
