you, BD, Kyle, me... a number of us have referred to the GF1 as a digital 
leica CL, should exist, finally does....

really handy...

and offers the opportunity for ease of use, take anywhere, great photos, 
potential for all sorts of expanded use if desired...

I have a small lens case that mine fits into, including the installed VF...

this is one (certainly with the 20mm pancake lens)  that should have the 
leica name on it...
