Well, because some of you were saying "Japanese are stealing..." insted of
"Nikon is..." or "Canon is...."
I got too emotional. Being an indivisual of Japanese origin, being a man
grew up in the culture, it is very
heart-breaking to hear those phrases...  Sorry for that. Hey but I think
your telling me that it's an marketing
stuff offended me. You must know we are not as stereotyped as you think we
are,  our minds are not fully
stuffed with making a lotta money. At least in my case, making enough money
for living expenses and
enjoying B&W photography.

BTW, If anybody knows, what are the differences between Leicaflex, Leica
R3-8?? Also what are the
    diferences between 1cam and 2cam and 3cam lenses. Are some of these lens
don't fit on to some
    of the cameras above??
