Ted,
You are right. I'm not in the mood to spend 4K Euros into a M8
(although I'd like to have one), probably the price of the new SLR by
Leica will excess any wallet expectation...
Building a Digital system is far more difficult than we may think, the
DSP (Digital Signal Processor) has to be tuned to the lens. Otherwise,
the results may be so-so.
I'm pretty sure that Leica has tweaked the Digilux 3 to offer a good
comination with the 80-200 f4. Indeed a Summilux 50 performs better at
f4 on the Digilux than at f1.4, results are more constant statistically.
Good Day!

I might even buy one, after all, it depends on its size.<<<
Xavier mon ami, There’s a far more important question than size.
“HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?”
I mean in the good old days of film Leica’s we may have complained
about cost but we knew we were buying something extra special.
Today in digital?
A back is hardly worth the effort or cost regardless of quality!
Given Canon, Oly, Nikon. Others? Because it’s a whole different
world. And people buying gear!
