Speaking of the Safari, I had a chance to buy one w/50mm lens about 10 years ago and passed it up because I was wary of the R3's electronics. The olive green is so beautiful I still think of getting one from time to time, but, as this would be a camera I would actually use, does Leica still support it? Would they (could they) repair dead electronics, assuming the parts were still available? I keep seeing the one advertised by Samy's in Shutterbug ($4000 for the kit), which seems high even for a Safari. Don Chatterton told me he hasn't sold one in years and advised me to buy an R3 and paint it green. - -Dave
