But on the same note, I think we should push Leica to continue to improve the camera. TTL was a very nice step in that direction. There are other things that could be improved, also. Society, in general, has not gotten to where it is today simply be appreciating where it was at. We are where we are today because people continue to push for "improvements". I am not about to debate if this "improvements" are really improvements. My only point is that it is only Human nature to what to change and improve things.

I'm not saying I'd actually make better photos with it but I'd be alot more willing to try :)<<< The Leica M is great because the whole system's made for natural light. It forces me to think - and make better photographs -- using the light that's there. I think we should appreciate the M for what it is, rather than wish it to be something it isn't. There are many "isn'ts" out there to chose from. Dave
