[Leica] Leica T

[hopsternew at gmail.com (Geoff Hopkinson)]

I think that everyone commenting is thinking " can I use it as a mini M or
a mini R10?"
This is really not what it is for and maybe we are not its target market at
all. We will see how many new people take them up from the iPhone
generation I think.
Kristian Dowling made a remark which really fits with my thinking on this
one too. It is not a cheaper M, if you get one use it with the dedicated
lenses. . For me that applies to the Fujifilm designs as well.
I was thinking that they might push the X cameras out of the Leica range.
But here the quoted price for a body and lens is nearly $5000 (no kit
deals).
So they seem to have put it squarely above the X2 and below the M range?.
I like the concept, it has some very cool features and is flat out
pretty...but not $5000 worth of like. What would I know, as mentioned I am
hardly their market. I was idly dreaming before of having this one for
travel and the S for studio (instead of my M and lenses).  I think its now
resistable.. mental note not to play with one in Wetzlar soon.


Cheers
