I think the boys at Solms were drinking too much Schnapps when they put the pencil to this deal. I agree with those who are disappointed. It is sad too see strong supporters of Leica products saying it's over-the-top. But they are stating the facts, and that's what we all have to look at if we are realistic about the camera. If the initial reaction in any indication, I would venture a guess that this camera isn't going to move very well.
