[Leica] Q3 Monochrom

[Peter Dzwig]

Thanks, Don. Interesting thoughts. As my M lenses are all analogue, it 
appears that acquiring and M11 or M EV1 isn't really that much of an 
option as I don't have the funds to replacing my lenses with their 
digital equivalents.

Now, if there were a full Fuji to M coupler I could use my Fuji lenses 
...but alas there isn't.
