It's career is interwoven into the history of our times. You cleared up a lot of my ignorance about why it faded from the market. It seems that quality cameras to survive must compete in a worldwide market driven by the demands of professional users. I reckon we on the Leica list represent that market, and in the final analysis Leica, Nikon, Minolta, Yachica, etc. must satisfy our needs for quality and handling. And our requirements are constantly changing. So it's a matter of endless innovation and fine-tuning of enduring existing designs like the Leica M. I appreciate your help. Sincerely, Bob Rosen
