So instead of a 'Leica R solution' they present a new b&w M camera, filling a niche that no one knew existed... I'm not opposed to shooting with two M9 bodies but I would much rather shoot with wides on an M body and tele's on an R body. I think Leica should just help me to help them! I'm just saying. -----Original Message----- >From: Steve Barbour <steve.barbour at gmail.com> >Sent: May 10, 2012 9:03 PM >To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> >Subject: Re: [Leica] Leica Monochrome > > >On May 10, 2012, at 5:45 PM, Wayne Serrano wrote: > >> So much for all the Leica R lens owners who would have rather liked to >> see a Leica full frame DSLR to make use of existing R lenses... > >c'mon Wayne, be a good sport.
