They thought they should make a camera to take real pictures with, and Ur Leica required a change of its form to be used with currernt films. IIIf was the next candidate, but they finally chose "0 Leica" because a large number of IIIf are still on the market. Mr. Daniel of Leica AG said, "You may experience a lot of failures, but in the course of using it this camera will be a perfect one for you with a lot of satisfaction. It is something like learning how to play the violin..." (summarised from an interview on the Nov issue of Asahi Camera) I myself played with this camera at Photokina. It is made better than I had expected, and I cannot say that it is overpriced as a reproduction model.... Well, from a practical point of view, it is another story.... ;-) A+, Mikiro
