On 2/3/07, Godfrey DiGiorgi, discombobulated, unleashed: The Sigma DP-1 might be an answer. Supposed to be the same sensor going into the Sigma 14 DSLR, so it should have decent rendering and sensitivity. 40mm f/4 is about a stop slower than I'd prefer but it might be workable.

Interestingly enough, if my Olympus C-5050Z had decent manual focusing with maybe an electronic rangefinder, I would be very happy with it. Give it a good Optical VF/RF like on my Canonette GIII (asking for Leica quality would put it out of my dream range), and I would be delirious. When you
