I will indeed wait. Wait and buy. My interest is with thoroughbreds. Things
bred from the best blood through a long line. I am not remotely interested
in pacific rim knock-off's. I think of them like a fad. Interesting today,
not interesting tomorrow.

These knock-off's will not make the slightest perceptible dent in Leica's
market share. If anything, it will increase Leica's market share. Move
ex-Hexar M users to the real deal. The thoroughbred.
