"Funny thing is that no one called it "hype" when Nikon introduced the CRC system. What is the resistance to this new Zeiss product line that prompts such comments?" Bill, Bill, Bill, are you serious, or is your tongue grafted to your cheek? Surely you understand that most resident's of LUGland do not consider Nikon to be competitive with Leica, while the new Zeiss line most assuredly is. Therefore, if Nikon does it it's "interesting;" if Zeiss does it it's marketing horseshit. Rest assured, if Leica did it, it would be described as one of the great Leica innovations - even if Nikon has been doing it for a decade or so. ;-) B.
