Subject: [Leica] Which camera would you always carry on your pocket?

Hi Didier,

I think it depends too of your life or work style..., for me I can not take
on my pocket "every day" an M, at least in Summer, and this is quite long in
Spain, in Winter is more easy.

Saludos cordiales,
Luis

Luis,
M too big? Not for me... Until I had the R-D1, a M6 with mostly a 28 Color
Skopar mounted on was usually in my jacket's pocket. Now it's the Epson,
with the same lens. Have smaller compact RF cameras (Rollei 35XF or Ricoh
500GX) but use them rarely because of their restrictions. I'm actually
evaluating a compact digi for family and allday use, too.
