I hate to break it to you guys, but if one of us put $5,000 into the newest Leica gear and another put the cash into a mutual fund or even an interest-bearing bank account, after 10 years the banker would have a much better return (inflation-corrected). Plus, the cash would be not be tied up in a collector's market whose prices fluctuate considerably. Buy a Leica if you want a first-class camera. Call your financial analyst if you're looking to make an investment. >I'll just pass on >the shot. OTOH, my AF hasn't missed yet. But I haven't made a lot of >demands on it. The G2's AF hasn't missed for me either. The key is using strong vertical lines as a focusing point. It does the job every time.
