I was a bit disappointed that several segment of the LED display did not work. On a demonstrator. Early in the morning. On the first day. Still I guess I'll have to get one sooner or later. My wife bought Leica shares, I bought Leica cameras. Guess whose investment was better. What about that for an argument? On second thought, perhaps not that good after all.
