If I'm reading the photography markets correctly, film and film cameras now 
have little to do with photography.  As I see it Leica is milking the 
classic M for all they can until they can get a digital RF on the market.  I 
think the custom configuration option is kewl but for $1000 extra plus 
options it's clearly not intended for photographers.
