If Leica is going to have any more layoffs, they should consider the marketing guy who brought that back to life. What I was saying before, is that the .58 and .85 rf's apparently didn't sell well. I have always used a .72, myself. In the mode of being careful what one wishes for, I keep my eyes peeled for new products from Solms. I am very fond of my M4, M6 (pre-ttl), the M6-ttl I briefly owned, and my D2. I am not so sure that I will ever develop a 'fondness' for PSCS. ?I do like the raw module, but would redesign much of the UI if I were the dictator.

Personally if the MP had a proper rewind knob, I would have been interested. But as a archaic technology rewind camera, I was not interested. ?A $1500 uplift ( or whatever they charge) for a proper period 1960's rewind knob is not something I am going to spend. Maybe the MP with a proper rewind knob is the new camera for 2005? ?They could call it a MPa. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net You may have missed the part of the thread that stated that the two off-sizes of rf's did not sell very well. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
