Buy a Canon or Nikon. You will get state of the art engineering and manufacturing, fine lenses, autofocus and autoexposure at a considerable saving over the cost of an equivalent Leica system.

The current market value of the DMR is 150% of what I paid 5 years ago, the current market value of the 280 APO is 300% of what I paid 6 years ago, without keeping them in an air-tight dust-free glass box. Zero net cost, and the bonus is a hard drive full of photos that gallery owners are telling me are not the same as they see from CaNikon cameras. Freakin' bargain. YMMV.
