I don't hear as much about Nikon users switching. Or am I missing something? I know a lot of Canon users who still haven't gotten over the fact that they went away from the FD mount. And being able to use 30 year old Nikkors on a new full frame DSLR is kind of a nice feature. I think it buys a lot of goodwill and customer loyalty. Nikon took a lot of heat for not coming out with a full frame body sooner. When they did it appears they did it well. Maybe Leica is doing the right thing too. Instead of making the M8 full frame, they went with the best technology available at the time. Maybe the day will come when a full frame M is introduced. It will have the image quality of the M8, with better ISO and it won't require IR filters. What will we compalain about then? Guaranteed it will be something, because the complaints about Leica have been around since we were reading the LUG on green screens. That's what happens when deep passions and high expectations collide! DaveR
