[Leica] a quick hello

[mingthein at gmail.com (Thein Onn Ming)]

I never said it was a bad camera; on the contrary, I think it's still

will probably go crazy and have too many pixels.

But is it what I need right now? No. Mine *was* getting a lot of  
rest, albeit after a year of non-stop shooting.
