[Leica] photokina 2004

[mikiro at yahoo.fr (MIKIRO)]

Hi, Tom A.
It is good to hear from you, particularly about photokina. My M6 still 
has your little souvenir for the Luggers who met in kina 2000.
Now I would be most interested to know what Mr. Daniel and other Leica 
people actually think of their digital M cameras. Back in 2000, they 
definitely denied their move to digital, suggesting that they have 
changed their mind or did not tell us the truth. Did you hear any 
(unofficial) comments from them on this topic?

Cheers,

MIKIRO
