And was in use up to the very end of the film era despite the rumors of its demise. Most of those people are out shooting DSLR's right now getting better shots than they ever have but perhaps misty eyed about the old days they had a ball with their quiet unobtrusive and elegant Leica M's with its killer glass. NOW would be the time to lure them back. But not with a body which makes them dial back their ISO wheel back several years and stops. They will wait for the M9-P so they'll not have to do this. I don't think they'll have to wait long. I think it will be out in early next year. The first day of spring perhaps. A sunny day with birdies tweeting. I'll put my 135 3.4 APO on one and snap one. Mid tweet. Mark William Rabiner
