I thought that you gave a very fair & balanced first impression. My experience is that there are a lot of Leica vs ZI comparisons & I'm trying to promote the idea that the ZI should be viewed through a different prism rather than as a poor imitation of a Leica. The Nikon FM2 is my best analogy right now. Yes, I absolutely agree with your impression of the shutter sound - somewhere between Leica & Bessa, but closer to a Leica. I'm sorry if I missed it, but how are things in New Orleans? It's one of my 2 or 3 favorite cities in the world. Are you familiar with the music of New Orleans resident Anders Osborne? I love his music. I hope to get back there one of these days. I'm hoping that there's a "there" to get back to. The country seems to have forgotten the Big Easy. Awfully short memories after the crisis is over & lots of distractions on the national scene from the most important things. Cheers, Bill
