[Leica] Digilux 2 review pt posted - many samples

[ruben at rhodos.dk (Ruben)]

I'm am happy to read that Mamiya is till going strong in the USA - I can see
you got the feinschm?cher part from Sams posting - living in a country close
to Germany some words just becomes "daily use". I use Fuji GX680, when not
shooting square,  and I have been waiting patiently for Fuji to come up with
their own digital back - who knows, one day perhaps they will. --Ruben
