Well, I am also at the brink of going with Nikon or Canon for a full frame
digital SLR solution since Leica continues to offer non-support. I hope all
the S2 purchasers can see the writing on the wall on how Leica supports their
customers/clients in regard to this topic, they are going to have one expensive
lesson down the road when Leica has a product they wish to market! So, I am
seriously considering selling off all my Leica R glass and going with Zeiss!
I await the translation!
