Subject: [Leica] Another R option (now M9)

Digital M use had not been yet on par with film M use with pro
photographers.
Leica got a late start in Digital and took some hard knocks and bad breaks.
When the M9+ comes out with ISO's on par with Canon and Nikon you'll see a
lot more of them in the hands of pros. This will not take long to happen.
Its just around the corner the next thing to happen.
