If you're a big share holder in Leica, then I can understand your concern about the lack of solid in your face advertising. But if you don't have any other "shares than owning some Leica gear," I'd forget the advertising concerns of a company you have absolutely no control over. And let me say again. You are quite right about the obvious lack of advertising on the part of Leica. Unfortunately it seems in the past when they do some, its so mickey mouse stupid, one really has to wonder at the complete lack of their understanding of the real world people who use the leica camera. However, like I say, none of us have any control over the advertising or lack thereof on Leica's behalf, so why do we in effect waste our time writing about it or voicing concern. I'd be much better off out shooting than sitting here writing this note. And that's where I'm now going! :) ted
