> Why there is not real Leica M6 competititors ?

	Hi -

	My guess: The market is way too small. Take away the
	collectors and investors and what's left?

	If anything, someone might build a fully automatic
	(sans focusing) system. But why bother. There are so
	many other wonderful (albeit automatic) cameras
	out there.

	You and I might buy one, but that's only two.
