It makes it appear as if the interest is more academic curiosity than real pro need for this camera. Where is Guy when we need him to spend his money  |
I'm two days late on this one. Will be in NY on Wednesday for two weeks and leaving any kind of credit card behind on this one. Even if this is amazing and even if the price is, okay that was more than a dream if you know what I mean . I would still wait it out until all the check marks are checked with service, support , system wide parts and all that end of it and that would take it out until the spring for me and i would imagine a lot of Pro's would wait for everything to come into play. We have to remember it is a one way street in total. There is nothing used and nothing to back it up except itself and that will take a lot of confidence or shear balls to jump on it right away. For the hobbyist these risks are just not holding them back. So it will start there and let's see how it grows. I do wish Leica the very best on this, we need more MF players in the house and give people choices. It really has gotten down to two for all practical purposes and that is not enough.
