I do like to follow the fortunes of Leica. After all I have spent a fortune ON Leica! As a new M8 user, I am flat out like a lizard drinking, learning to use it well. It is easily the best photo making tool I have ever had and I certainly have no complaints. Unsurprisingly, Dr Kaufmann makes no specific statements nor announcements on anything in this interview.

OK guys and gals here's reality: You have a choice of knocking your brains out, which in 99.9% of the time about absolutely nothing, wilder than beeswax opinions what he said or didn't say and what may or may not happen! Quite frankly "WHO CARES!" :-) Oh I suppose some do, obviously some have an opinion and they're entitled to them, but then they have absolutely nothing else to do in life! We are photographers, not mind readers, have absolutely no investment in the Mother company and they don't care what we say nor think, despite what some folks think they think or listen to. If we were listened to, imagine this? We'd have light weight camera bodies and the fastest sharpest crispest auto-focusing, manual if you like it that way, lenses in the world. The M8 would be M-12, full sensor with a choice of auto or manual focus lenses, flip out backs that work so well you could be blind folded and still see an image! Selling for the happy face price of a few grand. :-) :-) Believe whatever you want. However, do not tell anyone you really believe it! :-) Or they'll call the guys in white coats and body restraints! ;-) Obviously some of you realize Leica has never ever in their wildest dreams ever listened to what is written on this site or any other Leica site espousing things good, bad or helpful to Leica! Or in the realities of life, you leave it be, go out and take whiz bang great photographs with the camera and lens of your choice and have fun! :-) And some day in a world far far away in a no name galaxy of Kaufman, he and crew will have all the bugs and economics worked out! You'll all smile. But still complain about the cost of the new electronic apparatus Leica 222! :-) Or whatever! But all will be happy holding hands and singing! What are you anyway? Photographers or semi-mind readers without a hope of fathoming the inner workings of the owners mind? Oh go take pictures and leave this alone and some day it'll resolve itself good, bad or ugly! Get with the program as photographers not mind readers! Now get out of here and remember, be careful when shooting those wild wild images!!!! :-) ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
