My thoughts exactly. They've replaced the ultra-precise, very-limited-production, mechanical internals of a Leica with electronics that are essentially a mass-production product. This camera should cost *less* than a film Leica. But no, it's "digital" so it has to cost more. -- Mark Roberts Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com 412-687-2835 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
