thanks david, i trying to get info from leica. i have two dmr's and i think these are the best even compared to the canon 1dsii. yes i do believe leica has new dmr's and that's good for us, these will be the replacement units should we send one these back for fixing i am just hoping that 1.3 is finished and it will be in our hands shortly and then i am all ok, assuming some of what i am looking for is there. i am planning to go to pma so i will have a chance to talk to leica.
