That is pretty much all that is appalling about me and my mother is still pretty much glad to see me even though one would think after 47 years of exposure, my presence might be wearing a bit thin. However, I am finding it a bit much to swallow that I must: - use a special filter* (with its attendant reflection problems), - code all my lenses, - and wait for a special firmware upgrade (1.10) before the camera is useable! I am glad that others are happy and have no desire to dampen their enthusiasm at all but Leica has done a poor job of it and I am going to sit this one out. John Collier *I am not against filters per-ca and use them where a situation merits them but I am kicking at having to constantly use one especially when it ruddy well detracts.
