I'd like to find out why you were not the least bit impressed with it. Those who have played with it so far seem quite impressed. Certainly, it does not replace M6 or even G2; however, it fills a niche explored by no other. Another rumour has it that a L39 adaptor will become available. > How about a Japanese Leicaflex... what would it be like? In a kind of stoic way, Nikon F3 and Pentax LX carry on the spirit of the 'flex, n'est-ce pas? > Here is a question for all of you.

I suspect there would be, and the comments about 'Fine > Canadian Optics' would be a flying. Yep. What about all the praise we hear about Noctilux and Summilux 75mm: both Canadian optics? How about that only the final assembly of M6 is done in Solms, and many parts are made in Portugal, and heaven forbid, Japan? If all the parts were made in Germany, an M6 would probably cost twice as much!
