I held one in my hands last week at Cooter's Village Camera, in Dallas. I was more impressed than I intended to be. I don't know what the complaints are about, because this camera was awesome! No noise, even at low light in any shots I took - and I tried to make it produce noise because of all I've read. The salesman was pretty pleased with the camera and the way it handled - there would have been no talking him down, not even a penny. If I were in the market for a digital camera, this would be my first choice. I'm going to be a bit blasphemous here, and suggest the Rokkor M 28mm. Great little lens at about half the price of the Leica variety. Whatever you decide, the correct answer is always, "Blow your resolution on day 2!" ;-) Jeff M > Message: 1 > Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2007 16:38:31 -0500 > From: "Eric Korenman" <faneuil@gmail.com> > Subject: [Leica] a good dilemma > To: LUG <lug@leica-users.org> > Message-ID: > <82c9dd70701021338sb2ef2cajd61f8f816b947f3f@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed > > My M8 is on backorder.. > A friend who went through a Noctilux 'phase' years ago is willing to sell > at > a price not available outside of friendship. > > Given the 1.33 crop factor, should I pass on the opportunity and think > about > a 35mm Nokton for the future? > Or should I ignore my New Year's Resolution of "No new gear in '07" and > blow > it on day 2 of 2007 ?! > > Eric
