That's the point I was making, which is why the new Panasonic and coming 
Leica digital is so interesting to me and got me thinking. I was brought up on 
Leicas and Nikon reflexes. These designs seem to be the most natural to use. If 
there is such a thing as evolution in industrial design, in camera bodies the 
trend seems to favor M and classic reflexes. They are symmetrical in nature and 
well-balanced used with 'normal' lenses: 35 to 50mm or their equivalents.
