[Leica] Might as well forget the S2 even EXISTS - and hope for an R10

[ejcaliguri at comcast.net (ejcaliguri@comcast.net)]

The Leica S2 - if it lives up to what it is on paper, they have pulled off a 
real achievement in design and execution of R and D on a shoestring budget. 
But 
at a price of 20,000 Euros for the body alone! That is stratospheric! In 
Hasselblad range, or over for certain. To my mind, I best forget they make 
this, 
and concentrate on the fact that an R10 is on the way, that I hope will take 
my 
long list of R lenses (just as the M8 and M8.2 takes my older M glass and 
older 
M cameras take the new glass, but have no need of the codes). Even if it can 
'take' an adapter to older R glass, I won't use all those pixels.

I hope this works out for Leica, and helps us all; but with the world 
economy as 
it is, they are taking a bold shot. Buying a $30,000 dollar 37 Mgp camera 
body 
is not at the top of my 'can do' list at the moment, while a $8 - 9,000 R10 
may 
have been.
