Hi Gary!
I would be interested in seeing some full size images from your Oly
4/3rds system. The advantage of 4/3rds is it's small sensor ...
smaller than any other dslr. It's drawback is that same, small sensor.
I know that Leica has endorsed 4/3rds, but that is because Panasonic is
launching their dSLR, which is made by Oly. Whether Leica made lenses
will ever appear for 4/3rds cameras is something which only time will tell.
I found the LeicCanon to be quite good (though not as good as the
DM-R). And, it sounds as if you're pleased with your Lympa and that's
great! But, please, show us some shots in a size that we can hope to
evaluate.
Cheers!
David.
