Man Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2004 7:30 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: RE: [Leica] Epson R-D1 But B.D., if you stick the world class 50/1.4 Summilux 1.4 ASPH ($2700?), for only $5400, you get the best ~74/1.4 camera the world has ever seen. If that doesn't convince your skeptical mind, I don't know what will!!! :-) There is a rumor release date of 7/22 in Japan, which is during the time I will be there. The only tricky part is if I buy it in Japan, how would I get it serviced if needed? At 04:43 PM 6/23/2004, B. D.
