I think the primary objection is the price; it's clearly intended for collectors instead of users. But then I'm reminded nearly every day on this and other forums that film is dead and digital is the only way to go, particularly among wildlife photographers. Perhaps Leica is smarter than we think: if serious photographers are using digtial capture, who aside from a collector would buy any film camera? :-( Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com P.S. I ordered more film this week.
