Luggers,
In a recent post, Mark Rabiner asked "If Leica came out with a separate
high tech AF SLR system how many existing R8-users would desert their
systems like rats on a sinking ship?" Mark continues "My guess 65 percent +
would hold on and keep using their existing systems. Love that groundglass
and what I do with it!"
Well, my answer is no one will desert. One of the many problems Leica AG
has with auto-focus is maintaining compatibility with older lenses. They do
not, repeat, not want to alienate current customers, the way Contax just
did.
Happy Snapping,
Sal
