That the reviewer wasn't familiar with M rangefinders isn't a disadvantage. It permitted him to be surprised and more appreciative of Leica quality and technique. The reason I look forward to FF on both the digital M and the Nikon digital SLRs is that I like my 35mm lenses to register precisely with the frame. If I set my 50mm Elmar or f2 50mm Nikkor to a particular DOF on the lens barrel, that's the DOF I want the image to show. I want complete consistency between lens and body. Maybe I've been spoiled by decades of using the M3. Bob ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
