Eric Welch,

>>What's stopping you from upgrading to the R-35<<
                                 >>Summilux<< 

More precisely, I was talking about getting new R-35 f2 &
R 90 f2 apos similar to the latest M versions. F1.4 speed
in the 35 focal length doesn't interest me.

Think about it; stimulating sales!  Why did Leica concentrate
on that "hefty" R 35-70 f2.8 & not update their R line with
lenses similar to the new M "gems"?
