Leica has been designing 12:1 zoom lenses for cameras bearing Panasonic and Leica names for several years now. They're excellent quality. I had the Panasonic FZ10 for a while, a compact 12:1 ultrazoom camera with a 4Mpixel sensor. It made a LOT of excellent photos for me, including this one of the Point of Ayre Lighthouse on the Isle of Man: full resolution: http://homepage.mac.com/ramarren/IoM-4/PoA-lighthouse-0730usFR.jpg It's sold several copies in 11x14 prints. "Brand image depreciation"? Who cares when the lenses perform like this? G -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
