My dealer (a few 100km away) has a sample in for an hour or so next week. I 
have asked if he is allowed to take and keep raw images and if any M mount 
lenses <35mm in stock......

Most of these sites (Steve Huff, Lloyd Chambers, Ken Rockwell) are trying to 
keep viewer numbers up and buy things on click-throughs. I see a fair bit of 
reverse snobbery, 'look you can get a Leica beater for less than $1000' etc, 
got to keep the mass of the population interested.
