Not sure yet. Time will tell. Ever seen Noctilux glass? I mean, not in a lens, but in a chunk in your paw? Amazing stuff!

Yes, one can, closely enough. That is what cost accounting is all about. > It isn't just the "other" guy's camera with a red dot > on it! ... It actually is, as far as I can tell. Leica seems to have had major input on specs -- but they do not build it -- or do they? All of Leica's previous digitals have been the "other" guy's camera with a red dot. This is not knocking Leica's approach to the D2 (or was it Panasonic's?). Building a digital camera that handles like a film camera is not a bad idea.
