But healthy competition is very good for people purchasing equipment. The improvements in the last ten years have been stupendous. Getting back on topic, without the Konica, do you think that Leica would have the M7? Without pressure I don't think Leica would have upgraded their lens line. The local pro shop, has been selling the Olympus to small studios, wedding photographers, small catalogue houses. What they report selling are the two camera's I mentioned, and they will no longer take trade's on medium format as that is what is coming in for the new digital. The reality is that 5MP will work for most realistic purposes once it goes through a press or print sizes are limited to 8X10 or so. Of course, the owner of the shop might be married to an executive VP of Olympus America. :) Don dorysrus@mindspring.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
