That's funny Nick, I am in the same mind - I didn't think I would want
one and now that I've seen the camera porn I do. It appears that they
got it right and I know that am going to love having real rangefinder
focusing and handling coupled with digital imaging.

I find the removable base-plate a bit humorous, but everything else
looks great to me so far.
