[Leica] No R10 Likely In Our Future

[kapner at earthlink.net (Leonard J Kapner)]

First, sincere appreciation to those who responded to my query  
regarding a beyond the R9 digital body solution in a constructive and  
positive manner. Your tips, tricks and traps will be helpful not only  
to me, but also to those on the list who have not yet formulated a  
plan to use their R-Series lenses on a digital body.

Now, in looking at all available present alternatives, it seems to me  
that the preferred system solution may be the Canon 5D Mark II with  
the Novoflex adapter and EG-D Screen, as I am astigmatic, even  
corrected, and horizons are an occasional problem for me without  
visual aid in the viewfinder.

Nonetheless, I favor Frank's suggestion to wait awhile and will take  
to heart Sonny's somewhat coarsely-expressed admonition to just get  
out and make photographs. As he suggests, the hardware is merely a  
means toward an end. And to George's statement shown below, he is  
right of course. It's just that especially with the M-Series, we have  
become accustomed to expect so much more from Leica and the downstream  
industry they have created...

Thank you all!

Len
