Expecially about the R system. They have reported their pont of view about the future of Leica products: R system: maybe one new lens, maybe one new small body. No autofocus, no accessories and, maybe, no digital cameras (in R system). No agreements with other companies for electronical developement. Can you see the light? Can you see a good future for the R system? The only one R camera that I've seen at the meeting was the Nathan's son camera!!!! And then: why another small body? The R6.2 is not a good small body? They have no ideas, my friends. The M system manager said: "I don't know how Cosina can produce good lenses with low prices"!!! Fantastic!!! Are you sure about the Leica R future? Giorgio Ferrari "fergio@galactica.it" P.S.: please friends, can you tell something about the names of the four italian members of the meeting to Mr. Piccinelli? > I'm sorry, but I'm a newby.
