as I understand it, it is not possible to fit a zoom lens to a Leica rangefinder camera. I thought about the Tri-Elmar as a way of getting around this problem. I agree with you, I am perfectly satisfied with the Vario-Summicron on the D2/LC1, and have absolutely no wish to change or upgrade it. This lens is wonderful, what a pity we can't simply transfer it to a new (10MP) body

(In fact I'll be honest with you blokes, and admit that the Vario-Summicron is porbably the best lens I have ever used, which is a bitter pill for me to swallow, being a confirmed Zeiss man).
