Quite frankly the problems and statistics speak for themselves. Wouldn't any person in this LUG get a bit worried if the vast majority of items purchased were faulty at sale. What does that have to do with my attitude, ***** nothing would please me more than a working R body ***** If I am lucky 10% of the Leicas I have seen work or are not buggy. Isn't that a bit on the low side ? Have you not ready the whole message, stop kissing Solms butt. They need to be told that their cameras are not strong enough for the money they charge. Is it unrealistic to expect more than what I have experienced ? After all, if my friends $500 M4, my old $40 Nikkormat can cut it, why couldnt a $1,100 R7. > Miro > > As the man said, I may not agree with what you say, but I defend to the > death your right to say it.
