Period. This doesn't mean that there aren't pros doing so, but they are NOT typical Leica buyers any more. Ultimately, Larry is correct- the M is at the end of its development as a useful photographic instrument (but not at the end of its life as such.;-)) And it IS being marketed as a "piece of prestige photographic jewelry," and, I would hazard a guess, it is more frequently purchased that way than it is as a serious photographic instrument by serious photographers.

Those pros I met use the M as their primary money camera, when a quality image is the bottom line. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
