Also a constant-aperture f2.8 17-55mm EF-S zoom. Not much else caught my interest, anyway. > Photokina will be interesting > perhaps. Let's hope so. I don't know, given the trouble people have had with the very expensive DMR, whether I should hold out for a digital M, or just cave and get the 5D. The Canon DSLRs I've had and have seem completely reliable, and the true full-frame sensor is appealing. On the other hand, I love Ms, rangefinders, and I have a lot of superb glass sitting in cases. Sigh. Will von Dauster Using a Leica since I was 13, too ...thanks to my late father, who passed away this January 13. (Haven't felt like posting for a while) I still have the IIc he bought new in Germany in 1950.
