For some it's how the camera fits the hands for others of it's how quickly one adapts to the overall layout of the controls. There's a lot to be said for having identical bodies and a zero adaptation curve when moving from one body to another. It's a very personal choice. Good luck and regards, Wayne -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
