[Leica] To Sell or Not to Sell now Canon CA and Leica

[leicachris at worldnet.att.net (Chris Williams)]

Like Tina just mentioned, fast lenses, lower iso's.

However I've yet to see anything 35mm type digital format perform as well as 
the Nikon D3/D700 past 1600iso. I've had 2nd shooters use the new Canon's 
yet still it's not as good as the Nikon when it comes to higher iso's. Sony 
uses the same CMOS sensor in their full frame and yet it shows more noise, 
something about Nikon's processor has them beat.

And that being said, I really wish Nikon would get off the consumer selling 
train for a minute and remake some fast pro glass!! Where's my AF-S 50/1.2? 
AF-S 24/1.4?
