I check B&H and find that they sell a "kit" Nikon D700 SLR Digital Camera
Kit with 24-120mm VR Lens for $3,996.90 (and you'd think you'd have to pay
Four Grand for such a combo)
This is a lens I'd kill for.  The pix I'd do with one would take no
prisoners. I'd never sleep.
The lens itself cost thirteen  hundred bucks and uses a 77mm filter.
Not real Leica like. But will do in the interim.

And faster than a measly 700 millions miles an hour too.
If that's as fast as I could ever go I'd get a tune up!
