[Leica] Fuji choice and Leica

[Frank.Dernie at btinternet.com (Frank Dernie)]

The two dealers I regularly use have neither had any cameras yet, and can 
get no info from Leica as to when they may receive their first.
I have placed an order but have pretty well decided to cancel it for the 
time being.
The Fuji (which I bought at about the time I ordered the M) is getting the 
job done and the M saga is very much worse than the M9 in my case so, as an 
engineer, I am somewhat concerned that they are having major manufacturing 
difficulties, something like parts supply or component quality variation.
Getting one in 12 months may be a better choice for me.
