[Leica] Re: Digital M Principle

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

Hmmmmm......why switch from my non full frame Nikons(D2h,D1x,D100) to a
smaller lighter non-full frame digital Leica?

I'd personally like to take off the pounds. If you have the lightweight D70
I'd guess you would not really care.
