At the PMA I did in fact see some prints and they were excellent. Still it is a funnly little camera. It has a sort of big lens for its size...I know it's fast...but I think this camera needed (or needs, Eric are you out there?) a grip. The big glass is heavier than the whole body. Other than that, the big screen is nice, and the finder solution for manual focusing one of the best I have seen (and an improvement on the idea started with the Canon G3-5 of magnifying the center patch) but now with a real focus ring. It does have a more analog feel, but the controls to even format the card took me 5 minutes to figure out. OK, that was without a manual. Let me sum it up though, it is a nice camera, unique in several ways and I believe a bit expensive at $1850. <ouch> Still, it did not stop them from selling out, so maybe I'm off on that point? ( I sold a Hermés camera too this weekend...so what sells is not always what I think will sell...) bests, Rich - -- Our New Address: The Photo Village, Inc. 1133 Broadway, Suite 824 (between 25th & 26th Streets) New York, NY 10010 (212) 989-1252 www.photovillage.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
