Subject: [Leica] ERWIN: M7 vs Bessa R2

	I have been waiting for a long time to see the M7 and the R2 
(which my source told me was coming), planning to buy one or the other.  
The big advantage of the R2 is that it weighs about a half pound less than 
the M7.  Erwins only comment against the R7 is that it "lacks character" 
(meaning that it will be about 1/5 the cost of an M7). So barring major 
problems, it will be an R2 to use with Leica lenses and to complement my 
M5.
	I only get the digest, so my response to comments will be slow.

P.S.  did you notice Erwin's comparison of the R8 with the M5.  Sounds 
like he is trying to explain why the R8 is not a winner.
