  To H Kanner:  Leica's R4 SLR is really a Minolta XD-11 spruced up with a
                quadrupled (or so) price.
  To J Haggerty:MODERN PHOTOGRPHY seems to think German superiority is
                more prejudice than fact.  "The...28, 50, and 135mm Zeiss
                lenses made in Japan for the Yashica/Contax line are equal
                to, if not slightly better than their German counterparts
                according to our tests." -Oct 1984 (Though they state that
                Zeiss' exotic lenses are among the best in the world)
                It's my observation that most fashion photographers like
                the Nikon F3.
