Picture this: An international company spends millions to bring out its new super camera, then panics its customers by issuing a memo saying the super camera is not compatible with it older lenses, and then issues an apology saying "opps" so sorry, we were wrong because we didn't really know what we were talking about.......... we only make the camera after all. If the present Leica management doesn't have it together enough to be SURE that its new flagship camera is compatible with ITS OWN lenses, what other mistakes are they making? Perhaps they should have another company test their products to see what will work together, like Nikon for instance. If anyone out there believes present Leica management is equal to the old family owned management, please contact me. I have some lovely Pacific Ocean beach property in Nevada for sale. Stephen Gandy
