Timing : Yet, since the date is uncertain, we consequently have time for it. Also, we might have the S2 or R9.2Diesel debuts featured in :-) , else it might turn out to be a near celebration of RFs only :-[ as the R series in under represented on the list . Eligibility: And as some fine tuning is still needed about what can be called Leica stuff; does my Minolta designed made in Wetzlar 24 Elmrait R comply for instance. If not, why should an M compatible Zeiss be more acceptable? Not to mention - Minolta designed R4-7, or Panasonic Digilux 3, etc. My suggestion about ger is anything goes so long as at a time or another, it has been advertised and sold by Leica. That should fit in with the company's standards and ours, and makes sense with the project of celebrating Leica. This requires further toughts of course, and open-mindedness from all quarters. In any case, it already looks as a major goal for the LUG in the coming years. Thanks Alastair, and thanks Brian.
