Hmmm ...  2x doesn't sound so dumb when the Leica format neg compared 
to a 4x5 is 15x -- You're starting to talk like a 1955 photo editor 
Mark! "Get rid of that little toy Leica and use a real man's Graphlex!"

Now you want something REALLY dumb - Leica pouring millions of R&D 
into the S2 when they could have been inventing to sell us a $2000 
full-format digital CL which would mount all that precious M glass 
sitting on most of our shelves.
