Sorry Stephen, the R8 had a good presence at PMA.  The reps were very happy
to show off the 15 and the 20-35 lenses or any other lens short of the
modular system which I did not see in evidence.  You just had to ask.

I will comment that the Teutons were in evidence.  As I am not a buyer I
didn't receive a whole lot of attention.  Now, a large NY house that was
there, they got a lot of attention.  That is one thing that could improve in
Leica land.  At almost any other booth someone would happily chat for a
reasonable period of time and show off the goods.  At the Leica booth they
would show you the stuff but not with good cheer.
