In fact Nikon researched building a rangefinder to compete with the Leica M. Their conclusion was that it would be more expensive than an M6. I got that directly from the top brass in the U.S. Leica's are not incredibly expensive because of some whim. And I know that photojournalists aren't going to give up their Nikon's and Canons for Leica. Unless they're badly bitten by the Leica bug, like me. On the other hand, I'm looking at a couple of job possibilities where they supply the cameras. Doubt they're Leicas. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Forget about World Peace...Visualize using your turn signal
