Judging by the lengths and speeds of the Japanese lenses so far, this camera seems more like the Contax G (with its focus limitations) than the M6. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - Nothing wrong with being like a Contax G. In fact, a manual focus G sounds pretty good. One that takes Leica glass and will come in new at $1000 sounds even better. Not every Leica user has to be of the "big aperture, high magnification, Noctilux, Summilux glass school". Some pretty fine beautiful pcitures have been taken with the 50f3.5 and that short magnification CL camera. Jonathan Lee
