There are supposedly more lenses coming out...wait a while before
blasting the thing...I'm sure they'll have some fast 35mm only lenses
availible before too long.  Then it will be "an electronic M6".  I
wonder what the possibilites are of putting Leica lenses on it are...

RESPONSE:

I don't understand the excitement here. We're supposed to wait for them to
come up with some "fast" 35 mm lenses and then it will be "an electronic
M6"? If that's true, why aren't we calling the G2 an "electronic M6"?
Terrific Zeiss lenses, ranging from 90 2.8 to 15 mm, and including 45 and 35
f 2..high electronic shutter speed, ttl flash, auto focus, etc. etc...is all
we're arguing about here the manual focus? If not, let's get over the Hassie
label, remember that this is a Fuji, the G@ is a Kyocera, both are being
overseen by top Northern European photo types...Sorry, but I just don't get
it.....It makes one begin to believe the nasty things some people say about
those of us on this list and our alleged obsession with labels, etc.... :-)
