[Leica] Highly Intelligent Crop Factor Overview

[Peter Klein]

I'm with you, Sonny. As I keep saying, my main reason for wanting to
upgrade from my M8 to a full-frame digital Leica is so that I can use my
50mm lenses as 50s again.  I'm waiting for some sense of how the M9-family
sensor delamination issue shakes out in real life before I make the leap.
