I would like to see more discussion of and results from Leica (or lets say R and M Mount) gear that some of us can actually afford. Why not take the whole Nikon 700/7000 and other OT discussions over to the appropriate fora. I am not talking about my Canon 60D or Rolleiflex gear here either. For the latter Marc Small offers a disciplined and (mostly) on topic forum. And please trim cited text (as I have tried here). Three LUG digest full of junk in a day is just too much!!

One of my >pet peeves..... Frank Filippone =================================== Mine too. I've been a professional (staff) photographer for 42 years, but I can't afford to spend $7K for a camera (I don't do freelancing, so a camera will not pay for itself). Re: APS-C, on many candid-type jobs, I use two cameras - the 5D and my 30D, always shooting RAW, and no client has ever complained about the quality of the pictures.
