[Leica] Leica Q2 just out

[Don Dory]

I'm guessing that with a 50 Summilux going for 3k then a Leica body and a
couple of lenses for 5k is not so bad a deal; especially if you haven't
upgraded bodies in a while.  With high resolution sensors fewer lenses and
more cropping may be the ticket to less weight on the shoulder.  If Leica
ever put out a Q2t with a 50 then two bodies could serve most needs pretty
well.
