Good thing, too. If what I hear about the reliability of the R series is true. My Leica requires service regularly (every other year or so) no matter how many (or few) shots I take with it. Slow speeds get slower, rangefinders need tweaking. I love my Leica, but I fail to understand why people ascribe such "magical" properties to them. It's a simple, well made mechanical device. For goodness sake, it should be reliable. So's my Craftsman claw hammer, but it ain't magic.... It's a lot easier to support clawhammers than microprocessors. Yeah, uh huh, I think we'll get see how great their support is with the new M7... Whatever. Chris L. - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
