Rain is coming. > Michiel... I like very much this view from the dike....and very nice images all... re: the leica R8/9 digital back... I too await its appearance...and I would likely be interested...however...I heard from a very knowledgeable person recently who raised the following questions...and I believe there are not based on total speculation... 1. has Leica had second thoughts? will it truly come to fruition ? 2. when?...he said earliest 2005...not this year, 3. cost? in US dollars ..with current exchange...it will likely be more than 5000 USD! This is not exactly encouraging information/speculation...and it might put a new spin on our fantasies...time for some reality testing... Anyone else out there with any real facts on this..if no facts, a good rumor will do.... Steve - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
