Also, there are still plenty of under-appreciated, underpriced and truly excellent Canon LTM bodies waiting for good homes. Canon lenses are pretty good, too, at much lower prices than comparable Leitz models. Leitz did try the approach of introducing a "second" line, the CL, with mixed success. It would probably take a lot of persuasion before they would try again. Joe Sobel
