Anyone who wants to see what will happen to the M-series should Leica be foolish enough to try to dress it up with non-essential glitz such as a motor and AF need look no further than Nikon. Compare the N90 with the FM2. All that automation comes with a heavy price, with the emphasis on 'heavy'. Weight and bulk take their toll on the photographer without doing much to alter or improve the reason for the camera, to take a picture. And if you find yourself in the back of beyond and your batteries die or you fry a circuit, forget about even that. Dave
