This does not sound like it's coming from a Leica owner. Do you really
need Leica glass? You can get a entire *Canon* with many more features
for much less money. They'll even throw in a built-in flash and winder!

Remember: if you're into Leica, pretend money is no object. You'll live
a mentally healthier (albeit poorer) life.
