Leica Ms could own that market if they had a flash sync at 250th and even a
slow motor. I hate to rain on the Leica parade, but any company will take a
new market.>>>>>>>>>

Tom,

I don't have a problem with improving the shutter to 1/250 flash sync,
particularly where you say there is a market in the wedding shooter
studios. But every time there is an improvement which in this case would 
benefit one group of owners, it is at the expense of all of us.

Besides the M as is, is a great wedding photo camera!  You work with it
using only available light where the lenses do their real magic. Now with
the R8 syncd at 1/250 the photgrapher has the best of both camera world's
using Leica all the way.
