[Leica] M10 Rumors..

[Peter Dzwig]

I agree Ted, we all love Leica - at least in principle. But prices and stories
such as Doug's lead you to despair!

I still have - and use - my M3 and IIIf (the latter of which propelled me into
joining the LUG - a very good thing) and I would love to try out a decent
digital Leica. But I regret that it is now probably forever outside my price range.

Hence my move to Fuji bodies and adaptors to use my M-kit.
