I found the following camera store on the web, and they have a new Rollei listed for $1400, which is cheaper than the $1800 that places like B&H seem to be asking. I must have some timing...ask about suggestions for a P&S camera and nothing but LEGAL mumbo-jumbo populates the LUG lately. The Rollei QZ is NICE but if I wanted to spend that kinda money to SUPPLANT my R8 I'd get an M6. Well anyway I bought the NON-ZOOM Minilux today, after comparing it to the Contax T2 and a few others. Even though I liked the viewfinder on the T2 better, I picked up the Minilux since I have the LEICA bug by now. Shot some rolls of film which I haven't developed yet. Also took some comparison photos with the R8 just out of curiosity. So someone cheer me up and tell me I made a good choice. ;-) Also, Ted's humor aside, I still would like to know if putting a Leica or B&W UV filter on my lens would DEGRADE the final picture? Local camera store has a Leica UV filter for $100 -- should I bother? Tony
