G'Mornin' Neil!
Thanks (?) to Leica's ability to destroy my R8/DMR and their inability to
repair or replace it, I no longer own a Leica body. I do still treasure my
Leica glass, and find the Oly a great place to mount it.
I don't care for Canon bodies (that's personal, and no reflection on their
abilities) so now I have to wonder ... do I buy an E5 if they suddenly drop in
price? And risk the chance there may be no warranty service or repair parts in
future?
Or do I spend a bit more and take the Nikon/Leitax route as a base for my Leica
glass?
It's a decision I'll have to make, at some point. Meanwhile, the E3 gives
yoeman service, as does the Oly glass.
I find the Oly Scandal a fascinating saga. Not quite "Rising Sun" (with Sean
Connery & Wesley Snipes), but getting closer, it seems, every day!
Cheers!
David.
