Two primes would have been my first choice, but a $700 zoom won't get me 
the 80mm and 180mm I would want to replace it with.  Did you have a pair 
in mind that would be comparable? I'm not too up on the R lenses, I'm 
just getting into the Leica SLR world (who would have thought a Leitz 
lens would be made in Japan by Minolta?!? I never even liked Minolta...) 
 Advice is very welcomed!

So far, I have to say, the 70-210 has not proven itself to be even as 
nice as my Tokina ATX 80-200 (OM-mount), but I've only seen one roll 
with it, minilab prints at that,  so we'll see when the chromes come 
back in.

Thanks,
