There are others better equipped to do that, and you should be aware that on the one hand I?m not an independent voice; as always, my loyalty as a camera tester is to Leica: If I find a problem, then I tell Leica, If I like something, then I tell everyone else! On the other hand I hope that I?m an honest correspondent, and I won?t say anything that I don?t really believe to be the case. He would like it, of course. (-: I would like some independent voices to chip in, and then see a few prints in my hand...
