I can't even think of an appropriate analogy. Leica evolved as a real camera to solve real photographic problems.

But when your only goal is exclusivity, your company will eventually loose its most creative people. >> Not to argue, but as you say Leica HAS evolved as a real camera to solve real photographic problems. The company came pretty dang close to getting it right with the M3 and have improved the design in small ways since. The Leica M camera IS, as you say, a real camera for real photographic problems. The photographic problems really haven't changed that much over the years. How much does the camera need to change? Bob (if it works . . .) McEowen
