My last couple of lenses bought have had a little insert saying about the new address :-) Are you going to buy any camera to put your Leica glass on? I thought that the M (240) ticked all the boxes.... john ________________________________________ On the back it says Leica Wetzlar Germany. Welcome back Wetzlar! Leica embracing its own history! Lets hope to hell its not a re badged Panasonic. Fancy glass is not a replacement for acreage. Leica may think that its other product lines not being full frame will thus not compete with its M sales. Its just that all the other camera companies, Sony, Fuji etc have no problem with coming out with full frame compacts that will blow of Leicas cropped compacts out of the water. And still fit in your jeans pocket. Am I going to buy a 3 grand usd$ mirrorless cropped body made by Panasonic to put my Leica glass on?
