[Leica] Leica Solms LUG LHSA Buyout

[leicachris at worldnet.att.net (Christopher Williams)]

Kodak's Canon 14mp is going down hill fast. The camera dropped $1200. And
Kodak's Nikon F mount 14mp has had more problems than a Canadian made M4-2.
Just a joke there.

A plastic looks-like-kids-put-it-together Kodak R would not be wise.
