Here on the lug no ones even mentioned the new Swiss head of Leica Dr. Josef
Spichtig who took over last week....


Today he announces a software glitch in the Digital R back.
in?a?well?mannered?way,
But there will be a delay
till the very last day of May.
Or there will be the Devil to Pay
On his alphanumeric?display.

I hope their payroll checks didn't bounce.

They've got to knock out a compact digital R body.
Have Minolta or Cosina do it.

We we can meter wide open with our Leica R glass.
Not that I have any.

You have a great gift for rhyme.
Yes, yes, some of the time.
Enough of that. 
Spichtig, are there rocks ahead?
If there are, we all be dead.
No more rhymes now, I mean it.
Anybody want a peanut?
