I am on D-Leica list and there the comments more focused, so I bet Solms it reading, But Ted, you got to understand our passion for Leica, so the handful of us who complain have feelings; I bet many of us do not express on this list, I am one who didn't like the IR problem. In fact, I have a 'buy a 'digital M' fund, sadly/happily I raided for an awesome racing bicycle, and use my pocketable TZs for racing shots. I would be more fearful of putting digital M in bike bag then my film Ms in the past. But that's another post.... If my understanding of Leica history is solid, Leica didn't feel compelled to make a motor for the product, and there were also great reluctance on them to put a meter inside! So the more things change at Leica, they stay the same in my book. Like why the hell they couldn't produce a camera like the new Olympus? what planet are their marketing people from? A digital 3F sized impossible to do? So rant on LUG nuts!! Tell Solms what time it is!! <paul>
