Hello to all. You had some wonderful exchanges during this week about the 4/3 and the life, universe and everything :) If only Leica could come up with a reflex which has the tradition dials (speed dial, aperture dial) like we have on the M8 and Digilux3. Sorry for being soooo conservative but I look for a camera that does not match every one's: the Digilux3 is suited for that purpose, in my eye. If the next Reflex of Leica has a great look and is built on the M8 digital processing & sensor, if it has the ergonomics of the M8 (simple and efficient), I'll be a buyer, especially if it has a backward compatibility with the R lenses. Still wainting for my vario-elmar: Sonya at the Leica factory had the green light to ship me a "replacement Digilux". That's what the shop manager at Maison du Leica said. No clue for what it means, probably an ex-demo lens. Who has an idea for what may represent the Hoya filter UV PRO Digital? here is link to the big bay: http://cgi.ebay.fr/NEW-HOYA-PRO1-D-Digital-72-72mm-UV-0-Filter-DMC-THIN_W0QQitemZ280230780418QQihZ018QQcategoryZ30066QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem As per Phil (Amard) advisory tip, it is better to protect the front lens of the Vario Elmar (the new one yet to come), I thought of that filter, preparing the future :) ---------------------------------Xavier F.
