I believe Leica knew this wherefore the Tri Elmar. When zoom rangefinder interchangeable lens cameras come out there will of course be a chunk of Leica Die hard enthusiasts who will be unable to resist the convenience. Go figure. I believe this: I you take a shot of a tree in your backyard with TMax 100 film using antiexpresso tripod and blow it up maybe 11x14 and hang it on your wall with a G lens it will look great, better than many or most Slr systems. If you hang your printed to match M ASPH lens print next to it that print will look more than great; it will have a choir of angles singing SATB in the background. If someone would care to do this for us and it is not the case I will gladly eat crow, and make that extra crispy. Mark Rabiner
