Heard the sermon Roger, threw the money in the fountain that was enough for me. LOL

I am very sure that all the "entry level" MF offers will be below 10k$ for camera, back and lens finally. Give it another 6 - 12 months.Think we should start a pool. Closest number (body+kit lens) gets the S2 shell Dale had on display (someone must have some strings in Solms they could pull).
One nice thing about looking in on the MF pool is that with every month you hold off they get cheaper and cheaper. While prices are currently adjusting in a step-wise manner to the realities of the new MF market vs old, they will eventual stabilize and then shift into (finally) a normal DSLR-esque style depreciation curve.
Haasy 39 is 22k and your NUTS to even consider 25K for a S2 and I like you. LOL
I doubt I'll be getting any of 'em. BUT if the system works . . then I'd certainly consider paying for the S2 - even if it's just for the size and the weather sealing. . . . . IF the system works.On the S2 - how does one price 'quality'..I know I will end up paying whatever...IF the system works.
Well,ptomsu,
I think six to 12 months is too short a time frame. After all, we want prices to drop, but not so fast that Leica goes out of business. (And we don't want prices to fall to a few hundred dollars, or Leica will have trouble keeping up with demand.)
My advise is to wait six to 12 years. Then, even if prices haven't fallen to the level you desire, you'll at least be able to buy a good used camera.

The exposure meter mode? Its because of tradition.We must not forget that we are getting used to things, even to disadvantages or design-curiosities - both, Leica and Nikon-users.

but just look at the switch for the exposure method. In the R8 it was perfectly integrated underneath the time wheel - where is it on the F5 (or D3x)? At the side of the prism, who came up with this idea? Just because there was space left?
I would love to hear how a Japanese feels about that, maybe it's the opposite?
