[Leica] For B.D.

[dorysrus at mindspring.com (Don Dory)]

David,
Actually, I have tried to like the E-1.  It just doesn't work for me.
:() I like the size, the lenses, but operationally and viewfinder wise
it just doesn't float my boat.  Of course, the only DSLR's that do are
the D2X and the 1DsMkII viewfinder wise.

I'm just curious - have you actually tried that "lemon of a sensor
size" yourself?
