I concur, except I feel the same way WITH or WITHOUT the M camera....I gag everytime I see any 'modern' gear. (or "R" gear, but that's another thread) Only Nikon and (recently) Canon 35mm gear have gained the approval of the pros...I'm sorry, the Leicaflex nor the "R" gear ever gained a place, tho the quality is SUPERB...the M gear, however, has a 'niche' place with pro PJs, as a (very) secondary system...at least here in the US....
