My point is that "G as Leica-Lite" MAY not be generalised, either, to amateur photographers. As far as I know, many of them are observant Zeiss-ists and quite happy with their possession of modern Zeiss glass. OK. I do not deny a possibility that they are *subconsciously* content with a Leica M-like system despite their disapproval. :-). Mikiro Strasbourg, France
