And that's the problem I have with your comments.  I'm not concerned 
with Leica's management as long as they can continue putting out 
products that meet my needs - like the M8 and M lenses.  True, if 
their management fails it will be a problem for me, but they've 
survived for quite awhile now in spite of recent Hermes connections 
and celebrity endorsements.  I don't want and can't use a plastic 
camera with EVF.  I want a solid rangefinder with a normal viewfinder 
that takes my old M lenses and that's exactly what the M8 is.   Of 
course I wish it were cheaper, but you get what you pay for and I 
paid for Leica M quality in a digital camera.  I'd do it again.
