I'm not sure that a long thread on the PDML constitutes much current interest in rangefinders. ;-)
I honestly have not idea how big the actual market is and once you start to divide it two or three ways there might not be much left. Despite the review, I would be afraid to take on Leica for a high priced rangefinder. As has been pointed out, you need a pretty high price to make a profit. Someone mentioned that some of the P&S cameras are starting to fill the niche rangefinders used to have. I'm not agreeing with this, but what is the highest quality P&S you can get? >>> Scott Loveless <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 6/16/2008 8:16 AM >>> Paul Stenquist wrote: > BTW, I'm certainly not criticizing your choice of a camera.

The R-D1 is still holding its value because it's the only game in town under 5k if you want a digital range finder camera. One would think, with the current interest in that camera and the M8, that someone would hurry up and make another. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. !SIG:48565c6194831051815037! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
