Prior to Cosina the Wetzlar/Solms folks moved in strange and mysterious ways. Now they should be scared and may want to use their vantage point to make a few changes. I also can't remember in recent times when RF'ers have had this much going on in a single month - sort of being like a SLR'er who have many more choices and announcement ever 30 min. about some new Nikon, Canon, Sigma, Pentax thing to buy. Now the choice: M7 vs. M7 AND R2 - wife says the bank account shows M3.5! Probably will be M7 as I am AE kind of guy Ernie - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of B. D.

Clever? Yes. Immaginative? Yes. Good business sense? Yes. Marketing 101? Yes. But cynical? I don't think so. ;-) B. D. - - - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
