Sony, you interested? Shall share my Leica philosophy for those interested. (Otherwise please stop reading): 1. Acquire Leica glass as a anti-inflation measure. Use them in safe places only. Why? - Had a pristine Super Angulon M 21mm nicked from my pocket in a crowded bus outside Gare du Nord, Paris last March. Bought it a year before. Checked on the Internet and found that its price rose about 15% since then. 2. Keep Leica digital bodies dry and in cabinets. They are not as robust as the lenses. Nor able to tolerate the torrential rains in the places I frequent. Keep them pristine and hope to sell them to unsuspecting novices. Or collectors. 3. Show a complete clean Leica set once awhile amongst a gathering of Leicaphiles. Cool factor. Or amongst Nikon and Canon pros. I ain't no pro, you see. Got to be different. Then again use my D800E for assignments, my Fuji X Pro 1 when I am in the mood and my Leitz Minolta CL when shooting film.
