Maybe I am missing something, but from Leica's point of view, what  
exactly would be the business rationale of making it easier for people  
to put CV, Zeiss etc. lenses on Leica cameras? I thought that Leica  
wanted to sell us lenses to put on those bodies. Older Leica lenses,  
no problem, you can get many of them coded in Solms, but non-Leica  
ones?? Leica is a business, not a charity.
