And the reason you gave us an involved blow by blow break down of a Nikon digital camera? And calling it a Leica this is a joke? This is funny? You hate to ruin a joke by explaining it but I'm just out of the Loup on this one. Would you mind? I hope the implication is not that since Leica does not make a professional Digital camera we are forced to look elsewhere and all bets are off -or anything goes because of that. Because there are lots of digital cameras coming out every day which take Nikon and Canon lenses and I have no interest in them at least on this list. I'm pretty sure they are not in the rules of the list. The PDQ or whatever. Be nice of your enthusiasm was directed towards things we are here to talk about. Leica things. A pro digital camera which takes Leica lenses will come out soon enough and we'll break it down like crazy here on list.
