Re: Which Leica Full Frame First?? Poll

Whichever it is (if either) it will be horrendously overpriced and talked about endlessly by the Leica cognoscenti who seem to like cameras more than they like photography.
Chris,
Hate to agree but I'm afraid you've got a point!
The company now has a digital rangefinder that works, after no end of a struggle and at a price. I have a feeling their money would be better spent building an extra wide angle lens to compensate for the difference in size between film and sensor than going for full frame camera. After all, what we call 'full frame' is only that because it was a convenient compromise at the time of the original film camera design. The Leica engineers must sometimes feel that the excessive zeal of the Leica fan club is one of their biggest problems!

PS I do actually use mine! Since neither have that horribly naff red dot I can do so without embarrassment.
