Very nice camera. I had one for a while. Kind of dense (heavy) for the size and function. Very fine lens. I wish I could find an online example of my shots, but I really liked it. It is getting long in the tooth, and if something goes wrong, I doubt there are spares, I don't think Leica supports it, as it was really a Panasonic partnership camera. 2010/8/9 "Dr. Jeffrey L.
