When I went back to wanting a RF camera, I looked at owning a Nikon SP. Then I established that Leica M3's were cheaper..... Never looked back..... These collector editions for the Asian market are something I do not understand. Why would Nikon be bothered over a few measly million dollars, given all the R+D as well as production tooling to get the camera into the small run production. Sort of like a modern Leica UR. Why bother? In any even, I am tired of hearing all the claims and counter claims of what the new ZI lenses or bodies will do for me. This will at least broaden the argument base......Same arguments mind you, but at least a new set of claims..... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
