[Leica] PhotoSynth - was R lenses on any Digital body

[wayneserrano at earthlink.net (Wayne Serrano)]

In regard to specs; full frame sensor, as bright a viewfinder image as 
possible to enable focusing with the R lenses (28/2.8, 60/2.8, 90/2, 
100/2.0, 180/2.8) and back in the past I have used several Canon F1N bodies 
with Motor Drives, Hasselblad and Mamiya products so I am quite familiar 
with kits larger than an R6.2.
