And I'm with you, Michiel.   :-)
In fairness to Leica, they are in a sense trapped by their
own image and reputation, which help them survive but by
which they now have to live and die.  Cosina can come out
with a merely decent digital camera that takes M lenses at a 
decent price and be the hero of the day.  Leica supporters
who number fewer and fewer expect much more of Leica.

Leica should help Cosina make their digital M camera be
successful.  At least then they can sell a few more M lenses.
