I use Leica M cameras for the camera as much as I do for the lenses. It's small, quiet, jewel-like, fast, direct, engaging, dependable. It connects me to the photographic process and the things I shoot, rather than distanceing me from them. I value that. However, that doesn't mean that it might not be interesting to *complement* the existing line of M cameras, much in the way Cosina has *complemented* the existing line of M lenses. I agree that an M built by Fuji would be an interesting proposition. M. - -- Martin Howard | "Very funny Scotty.
