XXXXXXXXXXX Erwin, I got your "sense of humour" even if the others are a bit touchy ;-) It is really hard to express any emotion or opinion in e-Mail without seemingly offending someone. In any case --- I do hope you are right. As you will have gleaned from my postings, I hope Leica have more to offer the rangefinder community than just AE and a noisy motor. The M6 is a fine instrument, and one that Leica would be loath to tamper with too much, but they did show leadership with the design of the R8, still in my opinion the best Manual SLR around, only they obviously are a bit weak on "electronics". I remain hopeful that Leica will "break the mould", and surprise us all. cheers Alastair Firkin http://users.netconnect.com.au/~firkin/AGFhmpg.html
