Gee,

Maybe I should be flamed since I feel that I may have started some of this
with my questions regarding the CL which I should have known would bring in
mention of the CLE, Leica and Minolta collaboration and as an extension the
discussion of the R series and its relationship to Minoltas.

And the age question obviously is not directly related to Leica or its use
in photography.

Having been on the Minolta group for a short time, I know such questions
would not have had such a positive response, since I doubt most of them even
know that Minolta and Leica ever sat down at the same table, let alone had a
relationship. Most of them don't seem to remember that Minolta ever made
cameras before the 9xi (or some such thing).

As to the other issues, only the Shutterbug thread seems to be somewhat not
related to Leica, however, it has been informative.

Again, I am sorry I explored the topics I did. I will restrict my questions
to whether the 90/4 Elmar-C or the 90/4 German Rokkor was better. Oh, ther I
go again; I forgot the Rokkor was for the CLE.
