Marc, What lens are you currently using on your Leitz V-35? I have one with the Leitz 40/2.8 on it. Is there a better peice of glass I can put on the puppy? What about the autofocus, would that work with someone elses 40mm? Sam - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
