[Leica] The DMR is here in Denver

[Jim at hemenway.com (Jim Hemenway)]

Bill:

I think that you'll get used to the framelines quickly and will continue 
to like the ability to see the surrounding area. There's a frame in the 
viewfinder of my Kodak DCS 460, which is similar to the DMR in that it 
is a Nikon N90 mounted to a Kodak 6mp back and has the same 1:37 crop 
factor.
