Well, I don't see it as a problem at all. First of all, it's too pricey for
most photography hobbiests. And someone who could afford this can afford
Leica too. And where are the 1.4 lenses that make the M6 so prized by the
really serious photographers? Just like the G1 and G2, they will stimulate
interest in rangefinder cameras, and Leica will be sitting pretty.
As we have said time and time again, Leica can sell every M6 they make.
And I just saw a picture of the new M6TTL .85 silver chrome, it's gorgeous!
I want one! Price be damned!

You can find pictures anywhere. It's simply a matter of noticing
things and organizing them. You just have to care about what's around you
and have a concern with humanity and the human comedy. -Elliott Erwitt,
