[Leica] Leica M Monochrom

[jayanand at gmail.com (Jayanand Govindaraj)]

Frank D,
I do not know him personally, but it is obvious he knows what he is talking
about. All I said is that I would not take him as a primary resource in
taking decisions regarding Leica products, but as a supplementary resource.
I like the "scuttlebutt" approach (an investment term as defined by Philip
Fisher) in general - because if you get input from multiple diverse points
of view, then it gets easy to filter out the unimportant/untrue bits
Cheers
Jayanand
