Re: [Leica] Features or basics

Most, not all.  Some of us buy things to use, not wrap in clingfilm and put
in airtight vaults or in show cabinets.  The Leica 0 is a collectors camera
to those who are collectors, a users camera to those who are users.  So what
if Leica are pandering to the many who are collectors and will buy them
regardless of price, they are running a business.  And to pre-answer those
who will retort with 'Yeah, but not very well, where are the improvements to
the M6?', then let's wait and see if they arrive.
