[Leica] New old lugger returning

[Don Dory]

Thanks for re-enlisting.  Leica's are expensive: I expect the EV1 to arc
like the M5.  People will start out with some love, complain about some
feature lose value then become collectible when discontinued.  Personally
I'm excited about the EV1.  Focus shift and curvature of field will no
longer be a problem.  I can use R lenses with a great viewfinder instead of
an adequate one.  90's and 135's become very useable.  The WATE becomes a
thing of beauty to use.  All in the M form that I have found to be an
extension of my brain after using for more than 55 years.

All the best.

Don
