Paul - so, do you use K and M lenses? Will I get used to pushing the green button or is it a constant PITA? Jens

Now I'm selling two MX, one Leica LTM (a iiic) , a couple of lenses, and an LX motor drive to buy my second *ist D. I'm keeping my 6x7 kit, one Leica iiif, a Russian FED (it's not worth much). one Spotmatic F, one H3v, and one LX. That should be more than enough film cameras. I think I have to have a backup body for some jobs. After 8 months or so, I'm still very pleased with the *istD. Paul On Aug 30, 2004, at 7:00 PM, Jens Bladt wrote: > You are right, Rob.
