[Leica] Sigma DP1 a no show.

[leica at screengang.com (Didier Ludwig)]

I called the swiss Sigma importer last week to ask about the DP-1. The dude 
at the phone was desperately sorry to tell me that they have absolutely no 
knowledge about an eventual release date.

The Ricoh GR-D with a Voigtlander 28mm metal finder or 28/35 minifinder 
might be the best alternative in my opinion, especially since the prices 
lowered considerably. Here I can get it for less than $400 (without finder 
which I already own).
