If people want AF you can't give them a manual focus camera, its going to end up rusting in the backyard next to the old Chevy. If it's a Leica they can stick it on the shelf next to their unicorn collection and pretend it's a limited edition. But what good is it to anyone if it's cheap? None of us knows just how fast these cameras are selling or not selling and Leica is not about to not make a profit on each unit. Widget. Mark Rabiner
