Leica's not after the market that mass media pulls in - the big companies put more into advertising their consumer and pro-sumer lines (ala the Canon 28-135 zoom). Leica could be in trouble, IMO because of costs and the digital revolution. I'd love to buy a Leica - but that's a lot of money for a student and for all I know I may not have easy access to film, paper and chemistry a few years down the road. I've all but abandoned the idea of an M6 for an R2 or an F100. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
