[Leica] iconic shape

[DouglasMSharp at netscape.net (Douglas M. Sharp)]

Dead right B.D.
it's just a tarted up Panicsonic in a different can - BTW the MUCH 
cheaper non-Solms version came out of nearly all tests in German photo 
magazines a few points ahead of the Leica (in spite of the Leicaphile 
tendencies of a few journalists here).
However -
IMO , having handled both, I think the Leica does actually feel like a 
Leica.
It really is an extremely successful bit of re-packaging.
