I'm sensing a feeling at the new Leica that manual focus can't compete. And that's why the M got put on the back burner. I think that's the issue. They just can't have a manual focus camera be a top priority. A problem being when they do finally get around to it, it being coming out with a 24x36 sensor M8 camera, how mach of a client base will be left? I'm on the verge of having to sell my M system to finance full frame digital shooting. That could take me off this email list although I'd continue my screw mount system. All said we have a company putting a tremendous amount of capital into R&D and I don't think of it as bad news - in this juncture it overwhelms the capital coming in. With an S, R and then finally M system DIGITAL Leica will be very much in the ballgame and very much more so than they were in the 90's with film. How can we convince them that the M system is ok without AF? What the M system needs is FF not AF. Give me FF or give me Death! mark@rabinergroup.com Mark William Rabiner
