Sorry that is, my wife generously gave me same for Christmas! Why? My local film stockists are stocking film less and less and the cost of using and developing C41 is getting more and more expensive and delays are inevitably incurred between taking the picture and seeing it and they are getting longer. A little back-of-the-envelope-calculation showed mr that for what I was spending in film and developing each year... But no, I didn't buy a Leica. They have just got too expensive and I don't have the budget to run to one plus lenses. Instead I bought a Fuji XPro 1, because I can buy (and have bought) an adaptor for my M glass and have got a reasonable zoom with it all for relatively little outlay. OK it wasn't brand new but still. Sorry Leica, but if you will pursue the luxury brand market.... I hope I wont be banned from the LUG for this! ;-) Happy New Year guys, Peter PS I still plan to use my M3 and IIIf from time to time, though! -- =========================================================== Dr Peter Dzwig
