Even monkeys can fall off trees: http://www.5pmlight.com/PICS/Wright/L9995226-2.jpg Genuine Leica glass, proper lens selection, purple fringing to the wazoo. Doesn't bother me much for I don't usually shoot branches like that, and even if I do, I would probably convert them to B&W. And weight has nothing to do with it. A GF-1 with a pancake is $800, much less than any digital M solution. On Sun, Apr 11, 2010 at 4:26 PM, Tina Manley <images at comporium.net> wrote: > I don't understand either.
