As far as I hate it when I carry it in my bag, as far as I love it when I take it in hands. Maybe Leica should maintain two lines of Ms. An even line (M4, M6, M8) of traditional M3 based bodies and an odd (M5, M7) line with some innovations in it (spot and matrix meter, speeds in the viewfinder, 2 enlargements viewfinder that is 0.72 when you use a wide angle, 0.85 with a 50 or longer lens, for example). A question to Simon. You wrote : > replacement of the viewfinder frames with the > 'new' M5 set Do you mean that Sherry makes a specific modification of the viewfinder for the M5 or is it the Leica replacement of the Mx viewfinder by the M6 one? All the best. --- Jean-Claude Berger (jcberger@jcberger.com) Systems and RDBMS consultant (MCSE), Lyon, France http://www.jcberger.com
