HI Everyone
From White River Cottages in Crete (nice little place)
Just a few minutes of Wifi, but I've been looking around:
Couple of points (but not from any other information than what I've seen around in the last hour)
1. These are NOT LCD framelines - it's just a way of illuminating the existing framelines in low light - good idea? I dunno, it's never caused me grief anyway.
2. As far as I can see this is a limited edition of 500 (maybe I'm wrong).
Why does everybody get so grumpy about these limited editions Leica do?
They're for collectors - and they make Leica lots of money (otherwise why do them?) - it's not going to slow down R&D on the products we do want (quite the contrary, it'll provide funds for them).
Buy them? Hell no - I've been around Crete for the last couple of weeks with my M9 bodies, and they're currently looking definitely used - these titanium cameras are going to sit in glass cases in collector's houses - good for them I say, especially if the funds generated means that maybe we will have REAL LCD framelines in a 'sensibly' priced M10.
. . . . . . but I still don't understand why people get so het up about silly prices for items they don't want or need to buy - I really don't.
Right - I'm off to the beach :ROTFL:
