Quite right, Adrian. What comparative advantage would Leica gain from getting into MF ? I don't see any. Leica's strenghts lie with 35mm systems. If a Leica MF sees the day, it would be to the detriment of their 35mm systems. They don't have the size and weight to expand their system offerings that drastically IMHO. Better focus on your strengths instead. <<<<<<<<<< One could make the arguement that rangefinder systems are Leica's strength, and that a medium format rangefinder replacing R production capacity could prove a lucrative move. I'm not saying that will happen, or that it would be popular with many on this list. But it's a position I could understand were it taken. Larry
