Not so sure Steve. The Germans think a lot, then act,sometimes fast. Austrians I don't know. So, why are they asking R users to post on LFI, right now, when they're starting, at last, on the 9.2 Diesel ? I think it is twofold; reviving the R spirit, or keeping it alive - we orphans of the Leica family know the feeling - they have understood that. Yet I sense that R-evival is only second to assessing what kind of photographs R owners shoot, and maybe more - I'd do that in any case - in terms of which "sociological strata" they will be offering the final product when it comes out, and what they actual most frequent needs are, not only experts' or pros'. Anyone into marketing strategies or zoology around?
