So we're talking about range finder cameras: the new (Zeiss) the old (M3, Nikon S) and there's an assertion that with competition Leica would have improved the M. I think that's probably right -- but what, exactly, needs to be fixed at this point? (Besides the price which is on the other side of outrageous.) Metering? Range-finder? Shutter? Flash? Weight? Materials? I'm truly serious here. If you're given a clean sheet of paper what features/improvements on current range-finder cameras are available? Issues like autofocus seem unrealistic. So what needs to be fixed? Improved? Adam _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
