Greg, i think that will be the smartest thing they can do, i am not even
sure why leica wants to make bodies. the digital world and the turn over; it
is suicide for a small company.

on the other hand, canon and nikon people are dying for good lenses and
trying all sorts of stuff to mount a leica lens on their camera bodies
