Any word on a Leicafied version? And for that matter, how good was the original, in terms of optics and battery life? Around the office, the Kodak DC260 gets a lot of use, eats a lot of batteries, and I think it's (digital) telephoto settings and flare resistance look bad, but by and large, it's earning it's keep--most product shots from it are small anyhow. For my personal work, I've been wanting to try using big camera techniques (I want to see if I can use filters, and try black-and-white techniques in particular) on one of these things, just to see how far I can go, and the Fuji/Leica seems like a real attractive package that I might just toss in the bag along with the M system.
