Duh, somebody needs to send you some brochures or something. Have you, by the way, ever seen a photo taken with an M camera and lens? They are sometimes pretty good! >The M series is now as limited as it >is irrelevant. > It has always been limited, just as every other camera system has always been and will always be (if a system were unlimited, where you put all of the parts? Can you imagine how thick the brochures would be?). But the Leica M has _never_ been irrelevant, except maybe to you and a few others who have not yet figured out the true value of simplicity and precision optics. Good thing they make the N80 for you guys ;) > >Sorry > Don't worry, it's OK - we cannot all understand everything. I, for example, cannot understand why somebody walks into a room full of jazz lovers and says emphatically that jazz is irrelevant... Leica rangefinders are incredible cameras with incredible lenses and they are capable of facilitating the capture of incredible images. They are not unique in this, but they are certainly a standout. - - marc - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
