I send students to a camera store for a meter, they come back with no meter but with a Korean house brand lens. AFTER I WARN THEM THAT THIS'LL happen. The salesmen get "spiff" money for selling certain items, and they don't know/care s#$t from shinola, anyway. BUT!!! better this system than any other! We Americans show daily that we have no taste in anything we buy, why should cameras be different? May the buyer beware......Usually NOT!!! I just hope enough people buy Leica so I'll have used bodies and lenses I can afford in 25 years.......worked for me so far....
