Interesting points. One of the things I like about my Oly Pen F is that it is so reminiscent in size and feel to my Pentax MXs of yesteryear. I know this should not be important but actually the familiarity is quite pleasant, really. Much like the 'feel' of your Leica M is effectively recreated in the more modern digital examples. You obviously prefer that - familiarity? The Fujis have this 'familiarity' also. Heft and metal. I don't prefer lightweight cameras with lots of plastic. I suppose I would be a good Leica customer but I'd rather spend my hard-earned crust pouring diesel into my Land Rover, or saving for the day when I can buy myself a boat. Yer pays yer money and yer takes yer choice :-D -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ UK Shoot / Edit and || (O) | Live Broadcast News ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- 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.
