Like Leica has anything to do with the size of B&H's ad? And have you been ignoring Leica saying they're not going to pursue the "camera as jewelry" crowd only in the future? It takes time for a Teutonic company to make the turn around. And with all the fantastic lenses they've been bringing out, it probably has a lot to do with their slowness to get their ducks in order. I think they still have a smidgen of time to make the R8 successful. Too many people, from the start, have been too anxious to kill the R system in this group. With those kinds of friends, who needs Nikon and Canon to kill market share? Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.
