Subject: [Leica] Ted. Your logic is just what I needed.

Thanks for the help Ted.  This is the answer I needed.  I'm glad the 90 M
and R are identical because I didn't really want to get out there and buy
separate lenses for each outfit.  And believe me,  I LOVE to shoot as well
so the physics of lens comparisons are very FAR from my interest.

Thanks again.
I appreciate it.
Gabe
