The price should be more like $1000 or a bit less, so not much more than the Leica 25 for a lens that's much smaller and over a stop faster and also findable (teh Leica's quite hard to buy new as Panasonic doesn't regularly ship new stock). $1200 is a conversion of the European pricing (849 Euros) but US pricing is almost never a direct conversion, it's usually closer to the Euro list in dollars. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
