Yes, but then it just wouldn't be German! The Teutonic way has 
always been different and that's some of the charm of Leica. 

The Japanese auto manufacturers say, "How would you like your 
auto seats?" They make every effort to accommodate your 
desires. The Germans, by comparison, say, "you vill sit this way 
und you vill like it!" American manufacturers put out a very 
useable product with no personality, and a moderate amount of 
discomfort to all.

(Apologies to all. I've certainly tried to offend everybody!)
