I do find the Leica 0 a bit on the foolish side, but mainly because Leica
hawks this camera on the website as something you would actually take out
and use.  Of course this camera is a collectable item for one's shelf or
vault.  But to say Leica is a commemorative company is ridiculous!  The vast
majority of their products are meant to be USED, and at least a few of us do
so on a regular basis.

The waltzing Nikon owners can dis Leica all they want.  They are wrong.
