Well Howard, I've been waiting and decided that this was probably Leica's
"last chance" to come up with an R solution. I don't think it is anywhere
near, so alternatives may become necessary. Mine may be to go Sony.  DMR
is still going strong, and makes wonderful images. Photokina is not over
but the chances of Leica saving the R is unlikely now.
