Hey everyone,

Fred is going to be adding a Leica section to the Reviews pages, and he could use some input from you all. He needs a list of equipment to be included: bodies, lenses, etc. Also, if you have links to product images and/or descriptive information/technical specs, that would help out tremendously.

Please post the information to this thread, and hopefully within a few weeks it'll be assembled and ready to roll.

Thanks in advance for the input!

Excellent! Wikipedia seems to have a comprehensive list of Leica components:

This is very good news to me, I can't wait to read the reviews. I only wish I could do a review, but all my alternative lenses are Zeiss.

Can we please request a Zeiss lens review page as well.

How about a Zeiss review page.... one that includes both MM manual focus and Contax N mount lenses autofocus / converted lenses.

Ditto.

It would be nice to see Leica M mount lenses in the reivew, like the Zeiss and C/V, but I realise that this list then gets rather long

I have a couple of C/V lenses and would be glad to review them, as well as my Leica models.

That would be cool, but since none of them are in production anymore, I don't see it happening.
Everything else reviewed are things in plentiful supply that anyone can try/buy brand new ( I guess that rules out the DMR ) from regular retailers with little/no risk.

Not necessarily. Classics, like the discontinued Canon 200/1.8L, are still in the review.
