[Leica] reuesting info from Leica

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

Yes Doug, Leica problems and hence the subsequent service seems to make for 
dismal reading. I think I'm finally going to go ahead and buy a Sony full 
frame A7 or A7ii as the Leica option - a 2nd hand M9 - is looking more 
problematic and much as though I'd like one, the scare stories are unlikely 
to lead to happiness.

Being realistic, the amount of photography I do is now harmless, and it 
would be stupid to buy an M240 just to have it sitting around with little 
use. So the Sony solution with adaptors seems the best as it would enable me 
to use the large number of old lenses from various manufacturers easily.
