Subject: [Leica] What's the shortest record for Leica Sellers Regret?

I still have my F3, but have not used it in 8 years, and sold the Leicaflex 
SL this past year and definitely regret that move.  However, I now have a 
DMR for my R8 when I get back to the US, and Iowa.  Can't wait to try it 
out.  ;-)
