Sujet : Re: [Leica] Leica T Pricing


 when looking at leica , we should not talk about pricing. it will always be
the most expensive camera in the class, AF is also a new venture for leica


NO, the 4/3 lenses they designed circa 2005 had excellent AF capabilities - 
press, snap into focus and done - on top of first rate IOS BTW

so the Leica T mark ii will be faster. leica is about lenses, they make the
best glass bar none, (closely followed by fuji and olympus). i wonder what
will happen the X line.
