In a message dated 98-02-12 22:46:36 EST, you write:

<< Yes, this is true.  But let's pretend that you are in the market for a
 manual camera.  You are looking at the Nikon FM2, and then you notice some
 upstart company selling this rangefinder camera you have never heard of,
 that only takes a handfull of terribly expensive lenses, that has an
 apparently primitive shutter (there is no 45 year or whatever track record
 of Leica's shutter!) compared to the Nikon, a weird way to load film into
 it (you do it through the bottom of the camera?), and offers very few
 accessories.  Yet the camera costs 6 times as much.  Would you even give a
 fraction of a second's thought to it?

Of course!
