If this camera had appeared with a logo, LEICA, many of these attacks would not have appeared or possibly would have been praise. I use a Hexar RF. There are things I like and also things I do not like with this camera. I just use it when I want to. Anyway I am happy to have a new choice. Cheers, Mikiro
