I still have it. I liked half frame stuff OK, but was proud to go to full frame 35. Now, as for APS ... I was waiting for the market to collapse. I see no benefit and never intend to own one. I hated it when they were released, thinking they might make 35mm suffer. Glad they flopped. Smaller negatives are not the way to better pictures. And I was thinking of 110 and Disc... Perhaps Leica thinks APS will succeed. I am surprised they invested in development costs for this. Mark Rabiner wrote: > > Is Leica actually making this product?
