Leica could not anticipate when it started developing the R digital back how
fast and hard the 1.5 APS-c standard would hit. As a standard. It already
feels like an old standard.


Look at me
I?m as helpless as a kitten
Up a tree
And I feel like I'm
Hanging from a cloud
I can?t understand
I get misty
Just holding your hand


It assumed that the R people would be the ones going after digital faster
than the M people. I could see how it could figure the M people having
nostalgia for film.
But that was before TRI X MODE.

After all the R cameras might not have AF.
But they do have a CPU in there somewhere.
You'd figure those R guys would know how to run a computer.
The M people using an abacus.
