The camera is a monster and definitely a tripod camera but the optics are glorious. I have shot a few rolls of Velvia with it and I am currently working on some Delta 100. Can't wait to see the results of a side-by-side comparison of the negatives with it compared to my Rollei 6008 and 90 mm Apo Symmar. I am sure it is just speculation but if Leica must find a partner Fuji would definitely be a good one. ...IMHO.
