I know they won't. My point was Leitz ceased to be a camera manufacturer and has turned into a jewelery and collectibles manufacturers. I still don't think Leica's are better made than Rolleiflexes. Still, I would like to have one :)

I guess the answer is: "They won't". They can't make bodies cheap enough, and if they get someone else to do it (like the Minolta-made CL in the 70's), they won't make enough money from it. Besides, I think the CL experience makes Leica think that anything less than the M7 isn't "worthy" of the name Leica, and will only denigrate the name as a whole. Besides, Voigtlander seems to have the "bargain" RF market these days. It would be pretty tough for Leica (or anyone else) to undercut them in price while maintaining any sort of quality/features. regards, frank Łukasz Kacperczyk wrote: > I meant a *new* entry level camera with an entry level *price*. > > Łukasz > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bob Walkden > Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 12:52 AM > To: Łukasz Kacperczyk > Subject: Re[2]: Let's get real, folks. > > Hi, > > > until Leica comes up with an entry level rangefinder (i.e. never), > > the M2 was their entry-level rangefinder, back in 1957. > > --- > > Bob > > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > - > This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
