[Leica] Sony cleans up; takes no prisoners.

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Hi Nathan,
I guess I am just dense, but why would the M8/9 not be as good a choice? 
Let's say with a 21 and a 35?in addition to the 45(50?) and 90?
I think I'm missing something...
Thanks,
Bob

Meanwhile, I have taken around 250 pictures during this week's visit to 
Boston (so far) with my dumb GF-1 and I love the results, and so do other 
people. I have used the 20mm pancake the most, followed by the newly 
acquired 7-14 (excellent!!!) but the 45mm and the 90mm Elmarit with adapter 
have also seen use.

And I can walk around all day with no pain anywhere.

Sony=Playstation
