[Leica] Re:Is there anyone out there using/interested in LTM?

I would not be surprised if companies like Canon and Nikon cease some P&S 
digitals, they are making a killing on sDLRs, while P&S's bring in little 
$$$. Olympus and Monica seem to be heading that way.
   
  Nikon's F6 did very well in Japan so I'm sure that camera will be around 
as long as there are orders for it.
   
  As far as the Summarex goes, keep rubbing it in that you have one Alex. 
One of these days I'll find a Thambar and get one up on ya. :)

Well, that's reassuring. Judging from the reaction to my somewhat 
obscure post on an expensive but interesting Leitz v/f for an 
expensive but interesting 85mm Summarex lens, I could have sworn this 
was a dialogue of the deaf.

To put things in perspective, Nikon have just announced (more or 
less) that they're pulling out of film.. See:

http://www.nikon.co.uk/press_room/releases/show.aspx?rid=201

Given that they've been so successful at digital, one wonders 
whether, in the case of Leica, it's 'too little, too late.'.

Best
