I think the new cheep great ASPH's are Leica's iMac. And this can be combined with the newer M system cameras: TTL and the .85mag options with The cute flash sitting on top. The R8 hasn't done well at the startoff but when it sinks in that Leica is making it's own selfdesinged distinctive SLR's they will catch on too. It sold me. This has been a huge year for Leica. More stuff coming out that in the previous decade combined and great stuff. Leica has turned around as far as I'm concerned and from what I'm aware of the biz aspects of it and my projections of how its marketing nitch is going to define itself. Mark Rabiner
