Luggers,
To add to Pascal's comments about about Fuji and Panasonic....
Leica did add something to the Fuji digital cameras besides a small
piece of leather on the body. The software was more advanced than what was
supplied with the Fuji camera and I think the slide copier was a Leica
device.
As I understand it, the same applies to the Panasonic camera.
Also, there were problems with Fuji's delivery..... Leica would get a
supply of cameras and Fuji would announce an upgraded version.
Other Stuff:
Leica has announced it was not possible at this time to produce a
Digital 'M' camera. Months ago, I posted a copy of the letter. Why can't
some of you out there is cyberspace understand this fact?
Lastly, Every few months someone suggests Leica make lenses in Canon and
Nikon mounts. Well, Leica had talked to both Canon and Nikon and they both
declined. This came out of the mouth of a VERY highly placed Leica AG
executive. So, I feel confident it's not going to happen. Yes, there are
other off brand manufacturers of Canon and Nikon lenses but their stuff is
considered inferior. Leica lenses wouldn't be. Think about....
Plus as an added benefit, it frustrates BD....
Happy Snaps,
