My old obsolete Leica Ms do everything I ask. I just do not need AF, Program Modes, Digital, etc., plus all the planned obsolescence that comes with Canon, Nikon, etc. Taking pictures is really a very simple thing to do, but there are many people who are more interested in the techie stuff than the final result. If I was going to buy a new SLR today it would be a Leica BECAUSE of its lack of excessive features. Edward is way wrong, there are a lot of people who are not buying into the digital domain. sl - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
